Ciphers

Three guys catch my one arm

held firm

I squirm no result

another three catch the other

held firm

I squirm no result

my legs are tied

tied firm

I squirm no result

there are a dozen interested badmen

standing facing me

all healthy and powerful

they take turns

boxing me viciously

anywhere on my body they liked

to severe pain,

blood and my screams

I am sick

and can and will pass out soon

but they want me dead

they continue unabated

whispering with clever eyes’ slant

‘bear we are your well wishers’

I can only feel pain and no wishes anywhere

so I try a flee from gruesome cadre

and yet, somehow I escape

their clutches and run far

I complain to law

the offender group

says they did nothing wrong

and they wave their hands

in 360 degrees finesse

and say, “anyways no one ever saw”

just then prop up

three cam-recordings

all with audio clean

and writings in journals

of periodicals many,

and you know the rest.

They mutter,”anyways we knew we would die soon”,

at least we had a go”

I still wonder who are or were such offenders, thick brained, like ciphers beyond any compare!
