BURNS
By Ankit Choubey,
Infosys Toastmasters Bhubaneswar - SEZ
Have you ever got burnt?
In the rage of fire, not just your skin but also
your soul.
The flame flowing in your veins, searing every
nerve and every cell.
You cry, you wail, you moan.
And mocking you the sparks groan.
Just when your soul tries running away from
your roasted flesh,
The inferno grows strong and you look like a
captive in hell.
The body has done nothing wrong,
It is your spirit which has to be taught to
become strong.
When the level ascends very high, greater than
a 3rd degree fry,
You suffer a lot more than what they call a
"hypovolemic shock".
You have never imagined such a pain,
like an unbearable concussion hits your brain;
All the blood rush into your heart, thinking it to
be a path to escape,
Your heart inflates, swells, aches and bursts.
Gradually the pain dissolves and the threshold
appears.
Then, it’s on your soul to give up or strive
They say, most of the spirits yield and they
eternally die;
But those who strive are the ones to fly.
