M I S S I N G

they found a body
breathing with lungs full of nothingness 
hands tied to the oppressions of the age
his eyes blankly staring at the silence ahead
his skin bruised of despair
his head wounded with the injuries of expectations 

they found a body
no one recognised the man 
who was he
who did him this bad
what was his name
what became of the  man

they found a body
hardly awake but still not dead
shoulders hanging with nomore will  left to fight
his body covered in his own blood 
a soul heartbroken 

they found a body
choked to lifelessness
imprisoned in a doomed world who failed
to hear his cry
he screamed in loneliness 
for someone to hear him 
he screamed in the darkness for someone to help him flee
trapped in the dungeon of broken dreams 
he cried for someone to remind him of hope and care
of the light in the morning after the night engulfs in pain and  misery 

they found a body
who dreamt of a world of beauty
a world that held him not as captive
but set him free from his flawed choices 
a world without rejections 
without enemies but friends
a place of freedom without sins or crime
a world of no hate no discrimination 
but of total  acceptance, love and peace

they found a body
finally with a name 
someone forgotten for a mournful of  decades
someone who once lived 
across the street with a plan of a  future in bliss

there was a man 
who once lived but simply
they found a body 
it was him 
 the man  named " Nobody"
