The Birthday Cake
I gasped
As the knife slashed
The big birthday cake
Over three layers
Pink, White and Brown
Framed in days
Eyes gaped
As the hot creamed oozed
And the flesh bled
Sugars,powders and flavors
Reduced
To a pulp
In the big greedy mouths
They laugh
They cheer
Blowing the last gleam off
As the age travels
To the end of days
(An allegorical poem at the backdrop of Separatist movements)
