The pace was like a slow death

Every minute getting worse

While teasing the comfort of afterlife

I saw suffering everywhere

Kingdom of pathogens

Faces of stranger

Dim , fallen and vulnerable

Unlike their healthy mask

I saw young ones

And once young

Caught the glimpse of

invincible youth too

All here. All waiting.

Some were unbelievably red rude

Some strangely unhealthy helpful.

It was a chaos in there.

I think I heard Michael and Lucifer gambling

While Raphael was cursing.

It was a judgement day

Doctor had a sword

Or was it a needle

Can't remember I was feeling sleepy

He listened to the drums being bashed hard in my heart

I was afraid! Could he hear my secrets?

Was my heart leading a mutiny ?

But soon all was well

At least that's what they told me.

It could be a conspiracy by my flesh

God I was high on legal drugs!
