“The lifeless preys on life.” by Geetika Bhasin

His mask,

Starchy white.

No different from his face,

Emotionless, unessential and plastic

His strides,

Slow and frigid,

In no rush to commit the sins

In his hands,

An alarmingly sharp blade

Shiny, it gleams in the night’s dim light

Prepared to slice through his sister’s skin

Prepared to cut through her soft flesh

Prepared to pierce into her life and end it abruptly.

He’ll do it at a snail’s pace and at a silence that is inhumane,

For he is lifeless

Unlike you and me born for unknown innocent purpose

He was born to reach such a severe ambition no human can naturally take

In this tragedy

He lost his face

He lost his expression

And he lost his life.

He is the lifeless, who preys on life.
