I sincerely apologise for the abrupt goodbye I am in deep remorse for my innocence And I am just a boy who cared for you
But my caring attitude only gave you jeopardy
The homicide of none Still the execution is to be done I live no more to see another day No ignominy, no me nor you I just wanted to say "I am sorry" Though my sound is silent
I wrote this letter before the time You acknowledge that I am writing And reading it with a gloomy rivery eye Judge not my fragile hand who wrote it But conversing in regret between the line My only regret is to be your late son A dilapidated case for everyone
As the holy book gave me strength Which became my only strength The heart I once beat with emotions I know not if I could became a honest man Only time would tell me But time has slipped away from my hand Worry not for I am just a leap away from paradise
Time to tell its bitter farewell Even though I am too small and paranoid I am sitting in that life leaching chair As they concealed my little face My tiny soul clustered into space
This is an excellent piece that gripped my heart from start to finish. How anyone could do this to a 14yr old child beggars belief!
Thank you for posting this Terry and I hope to read more of your work.
(Incidentally, I was in Maharashtra some years ago to visit the caves. Amazing!)
What a wonderful tribute to George. This was so wrong & sad! Executing a little scared boy. I wish all executions would end! Taking a life is wrong no matter what!
Chang: I love it...the flow is beautiful and the sadness comes flying through...the title is wonderful...I am so impressed...just simply riveting.
The homicide of none
Still execution is to be done
I live no more to see another day
No ignominy, no me nor you
I just wanted to say sorry to you
Though my sound is silent
and the ending is so sad and thought provoking. Great work!

This is the saddest day for the world as a child was sentenced to death. It is an horrendous scene from utmost gruesome evil genius.
I only wrote for the poor boy. Who never been given any chance. I am sorry for not being born at that time to help and aid you from those atrocious evil. You who died innocent shall not be forgotten and will ring a bell in everyone's ears
