The 174th Bullet: Moan For The Misbegotten

________________________________________________________________________________________________


For the misbegotten,
there is no triumph after death.
 
But 
there can be a floating grave
made of pure air
 ...
 
The purist and cleanest air 
breathed  by one and all
for their respiratory pleasure
...
 
Only
after a lifetime
of skull and bones
tattooed
on the forehead.

  1. This reads more like a Hooda Helami poem
    than one of your "Bullets."

    1. More because of the length
      than the subject matter.

      If Hooda had written it,
      there would have been a trace of wit

  2. "Moan For The Misbegotten" sounds familiar.
