Born Dead
by Pranab Ghosh / November 11th, 2018
She lay dead…
The cradle that
Rocked her
Could not
Lull her to sleep.
She stayed
Awake…
All through her
LIFE
In search of that
SLEEP
Blessed…
That peace
Blessed…
That love
Blessed…
Now she is
Dead!
Is she blessed?
• Postscript: Rebellions happen only to die!
