The Inanimate One.....

He lay there on the floor---Motionless;
Center of attraction for many;
People discussed why he lay there;
Their faces were very grotesque, worried and relieved;
Hypocrisy shone brightly like a halo;
My prying eyes caught their vigorous labour to conceal their feelings;
But what about him who lay motionless, with inordinate peace somewhere in the remains of his inanimate heart;
The verbosity of his countenance amidst the grim silence of his breaths;
Melancholy was abrogated---Enigmatic piety---Proximity to heaven I reckon;
A little later all the ones with souls left, as if exonerated from an eternal persecution;
I noticed an uncanny pragmatism in his expressions---lifeless expressions---belittling my living ones;
The walls of the room felt like a self-incarcerating shell;
This feeling was so mesmerizing, once aesthetic, once choking;
I felt like renouncing the mundane;
But it was then I saw the radiance of life;
I rose to me feet, and from there it felt like an ethereal blade has sliced my heart and purged all the debauchery, felt Cathartic;
His face, seemed like smiling at me;
I witnessed the end of a prodigious journey called life;
The end was overwhelming;
Another one got killed that day, the egotist within;
That moment, I did not believe in Him, but in him;
It placated my apathy;
I stepped out into the glory of the Sun;
And in a sudden stroke of fate everything became so usual;
It was a death, just another death;
And there lay another inanimate one, just another one.........
