Book of Poems - Polluted Darkness

Rest

"You can rest when you die"

The voices echo fervently

The truth in that matter

Has withstood the test

The test of time that death

Brings needed sweet relief

To a pained and broken body

"You can rest when you die"

The voices are tireless

But the the flesh is weak

And cannot go on further

But there will be no rest

And a cry for help goes wasted

With no strength just tears 

Of salt water and those that cut

Stain the face and the soul

  "You can rest when you die"  

The labors and emotions

The turmoils and limits

Expectations are too high

And continues to bully

Pushing the body further 

Breaking an innocent soul

  "You can rest when you die"
