Eyes of a Man

Yesterday, I spotted and stared;

At the pain in eyes of a man.

Who cried for an enormous care;

While his bare hands were tied and banned.

Therefore, I came near him and said;

That he should close his own eyes.

Then I told him to bow and pray;

To feel the presence of the skies.

I tapped his head and I looked up;

I felt my eyes were weakening.

As I was standing up, I stopped;

The man with moans of suffering.

I knelt down and held his restraint;

I saw his wrists prickled with wires.

His grimace distorted him in pain;

Like he burned himself through a fire.

I untangled him from the pain;

With my hands both scarred and blooded.

I told him not to be in vain;

And reminded him he's blessed.

I checked the man if he's alright;

Suddenly, he knelt lifelessly.

I cried and I hugged him so tight;

As he was twisting hopelessly.

I stared at his eyes once again;

That time, they were closed forever.

He wouldn't stop praying in the end;

Until he would be remembered.
