Did they offer Freedom

I was mummified

When the door was forcefully locked
I was lying inside tied hard
With cloths, medicines, food and other belongings
But never gave air I breath.

I was sacked inside a bundle of cloths
Darkness, abyss of darkness I feel
It's heaven's sky, calm and horrifying
They didn't offer my blue sky, oh!

I can't move even a hair
No coolness creeped inside
Did I asked them to offer
A little wind so lovable.

I was in pain terribly
Scratching my own body to death
Scratching the darkness to see a light
Did they offer freedom in my coffin?

In life, in death. Walls and boxes can overcome us.
"I was in pain terribly
Scratching my own body to death
Scratching the darkness to see a light
Did they offer freedom in my coffin?"
I liked the above lines. I believe what the First Nation of The America believed. We come from dirt and we will become dirt again. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Freedom from the coffin is better than freedom in it if you ask the living but the dead have nothing to say. I enjoyed the read.

Now this is a very powerful poem written in the first person which gives it its power, Descriptive with terse but vivid imagery. The very meter of it gives it strength. Kudos

very powerful and tragic...seems like you were being stuffed in a vehicle of some kind and treated worse than an animal...on to the grave or beheaded in a square... and I know this happens in countries where the autocratic ruler does what he wants... no freedom....

Very dark poem. Being buried alive or suffocated by the world.

I thought mummification was something that was done post mortem. In this instance, though, it is burial alive. Shades of Edgar Allan Poe.
