RIDING ON SATAN’S BACK

It was Satan’s sermon and the Executioners positioned themselves, then came the "Pilgrim Falcon" and was followed by the Satan’s wish.

For Shaun it was a safe landing, but later realised it landed in a Quagmire.

The executioner awaited the call “Unleash Hell”, and so was it, the whole of him dragged to Dirt and went away with the wings.

Betrayed, Humiliated and Destroyed, stood among the falling dust was Shocked Shaun would aptly be renamed as “Shattered Shaun”

Who was he? , Where was he heading to? What remained of him? Are among the Ocean of Questions going around in his mind?

He was a refugee; he was seeking refuge in life?

He was thinking, it would’ve been better lying on the death bed, than seeking refuge of life.
Came the mother falcon and other siblings , helped Shaun get on his feet.

"Pls. realise that the author feels the importance of family here, though he is an orphan"

He was happy to stand, but always wanted to Soar high as was his dream, wants to ask Satan, what was his crime, and why did he let vultures on him. He could’ve got him killed easily than giving him such humiliation.

Shaun still wants to soar high and sees a ray of hope and awaiting the wings to grow and take his dream flight and avoid riding on the SATAN’S BACK!

He prays “God! Bless me the knowledge to understand what is good and what is evil, provide me with the vision to penetrate through the false layer of respect put on by the evil minds. Give me wings that are firm and not fragile, let me hold them by all the love I can impart. If you want to ground me, just lay me to rest than let me face humiliation. Give the insane vultures some sanity to respect other living beings.”











Thanks for your valuable comments.

A really beautiful piece. Or shall I say the most beautiful on this blog till date.

For Shaun , goes my pity.
But for one, why did Shaun consider himself an Orphan , when there was mother Falcon and Siblings to support him.

But the ways of Satan are evil and cunning...remember he made the protagonist of Christopher Marlow’s poem sell him his soul and promised him Helen. The poor guy believes the witch to be Beautiful Helen and says 'come Helen , make me immortal with a kiss'- where the immortality was the eternity of hell.

The ways of Satan are evil for ever, he appears to be a ‘teacher’, but his sermons are doomsday prayers. He makes innocent siblings appear as Vultures and real vultures appear as empathisers.

But once bitten twice shy... Dear Shaun! Thou Shalt not lead to temptation !

Iam pretty sure, Shaun has learnt to believe in God and shun Satan. he will sore high, and Higher....

and I pray to the good god, as did Shaun, ' Oh God !Give the insane vultures some sanity to respect other living beings.”... Cause today it is Shaun , but tomorrow it may be the Vultures turn !!!

Shaun ..Dream and Dream big, because God (Not Satan) has the love to make it true. Life is beautiful gift of God , never give it away as a dirty thing... Its Pious !

Love, for ever
