A Riot Story - Tension Finish

A Riot Story - Tension Finish

He stepped in my house with a scary face,

folded hands and spoke in fake confidence

with trembling words:

“They are coming this way!”

I saw terror of death in his eyes

Also read changing colour of his face

asking for a permission

to hope for a long life!!

I too gave him my word to save him

informing my status and capacity

and instructed him not to worry!

I took responsibility to save his life at any cost!

Bodyguards of a particular religion,

already engaged in riots,

were on my doorsteps.

They were knocking my door

as they will knock it down

My thoughts of defining humanity

was felt like dying in regret!!

Confusion was mandatory in my mind!!

I calmed down myself by presuming that

the intruders might be of my religion

And opened the door or

it was just opened in confusion

I don’t remember??

But the stranger in my asylum was shivering in terror!

I tried to identify the visitors with panicked face

And we both were on the death door in my own house

Because the rioters were of the third religion??

They enquired about the religion of our both

Next moment –

The stranger came in my asylum was lying breathless

next to my dead body!!!

My exited soul was standing near my dead body

and watching it in uncertainty

The soul of the stranger also left his body

and stood fearless near my soul!!

Both spent some moments with their once body-homes,

Held each other’s hands

And left the place with a laughter

Saying: “Two living bodies may have a religion

Riots may have a religion

Human-beings may have a religion

Dead bodies may have a religion

Grave-yards may have a religion.

But the souls are not restricted to any religion!

So Nothing To Worry…Tension Finish!!!”
