DEATH POSTMORTEM


Against stone cold
Skin bruised blue
Cold knife cuts

Blood stagnant cold
Can't even flow
Denied protest

Limp lifeless livid
Lies lulled in mockery
Freedom such lie

Ash white flag
Ashen in anger
Of fire not lit

Gory ghosts shudder
Such painless cold misery
Death of death

Death of death:
"Before" death, denied
Denied "after" death

-Mx

This poem describes the scene of a postmortem and speaks of how there is no respite even after death.(death of death) (death postmortem: death after death)
Also, it tries to metaphorically comment upon the limitations of society and hypocrisies of law/society/rules and how they render people helpless...
