Like a house erupting in flames
An imprint as such I cannot name
Mercilessly, I was, forever scarred
A foreign rage had left me charred
Strewn in pieces, my dignity smelt
Of rotting corpse; they never felt
A tug of remorse in their soul-less heart
As they barged in and tore me apart
My pleas, my threats amused them more
My quivers pursued their humanly core
A clever plan to subjugate
A human sharing an animal’s fate
Arrows of torture; bullets of shame
Pinned me to their reality game
Laughs and sneers; tears and screams
Stuck in this appalling dream
Momentary ambrosial feel
Hunt for a voluptuous deal
Humanity surpassed by the greed
Was it my religion, gender or creed
