On a writer’s grave

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I look around for a wandering soul
incomplete dreams; life not so whole
I offer silent tears; hoping he hears
People stood for him; he was not alone

He put life on the line to achieve a goal
sentenced to death for a rebel’s role
He stood for freedom; but a neo-monarchy
accused him of treacherous anarchy

He was a writer; May his tribe increase
May his death make integrity seek release
from bonds of slavery to independent thought
May Ethical Light stem intellectual rot
