the dead make noiseA Poem by aditya gawadeThe effect that dead people have on the living
Men are so mortal
At some point of time they have to cross that portal When their time comes they have to leave the world For then the reaper doesn't take their word Many times life withers away from a parent But they their dreams dont always end They maybe carried forward by their kin Blood to blood and skin to skin No society supports brutal murder For it fills our heart with horror The ruling council must take strong action Or face an unending revolution The dead inspire us to take revenge For the dead we have to avenge Some say revenge is sweet But always with blood it litters the street At war occurs the death of a general It renders the army heavily emotional They fight with renewed anger and gist Kill and destroy everything around them with their mighty fist Great men too die Towards the heaven they fly Many a times their ideas turn practical Once these great men have become historical Heavy is the death of the stillborn baby The crying mother yet sings a lullaby With deep sadness she closes her eyes As a part of her own dies So do the dead really sit quiet? Are they really empty with no light? They lie in their graves with that typical poise But yes,the dead do make noise © 2014 aditya gawadeAuthor's Note
