REALISATION

The rebel

Lived inside

Silently,

The mind that nurtured it

Forgot his presence,

The rebel

Grew up scribbling

The letters of wild courage

On the wall,

The heart failed to spot it,

Many times,

When the body fell,

It felt the touch of

The sensitive rebel

Standing out

And

Offering his shoulder,

He took the wounds

And pains

Keeping the house

Free from them,

Without ever demanding

Anything in lieu

Yesterday,

While watching a game of

Equals beating the unequals,

The rebel burst out of him,

In his weakness

Following his momentary absence,

He realised the indispensable

Without which

It was impossible to

Live on
