The Tick Tock

The Tick Tock

But isn't this the man

Whose blundering wheels

Snuffed out my wife's life?


The dilemma was huge

Mind in sway

The clock ticking away

In nano-seconds

The man was counting his last breaths

The thread of his life hanging precariously

From fatal collision

The sole bread winner of aging parents

Counting on some divine intervention


But how can I show magnanimity?

You can't either kill innate humanity!

But he took away my wife's life

Only you can gift his new life!

But how can I condone his behavior?

God has chosen you as savior!

But I am a human, not a saint

Time is running out don't grow faint!


Two pairs of old wrinkled hands

Clutched mine

Two pairs of teary flooded eyes

Watched me with deep gratitude

Rarest drops of AB negative 

From a forgiving soul

Trickling injecting infusing new life 

Into a forgiven soul

Just on time
