PRAYER TO DEATHA Poem by AJAY AMITABH SUMANThis is a poem about a soul, who always tried to evade death by citing various reasons.Limbs are yet to grow, am just in the womb, Eyes are, but without brow, and heart is yet to pump. O Death,you must be having , other things to occupy. Am such a little kid, just attempting to walk, still stutter in uttering, am striving to talk. O Death, come later, i won’t defy. My friends are few , more have to be made, Books are left unread, games are to be played. O Death, hold on, not the time yet to reply. Have fallen in love, with gorgeous wife, Heart is singing and, joy has come to life. O Death, give me some time, & I will comply. Children, to be taken care of, elders to be protected, Ethics in society shaken, needs to be corrected, O Death, time is still not ripe, to tell the life a good bye. Though money I have made, but no time to spend, Erred in life many times, still left ways to amend. O Death, time is still not ripe, please do not pry. Yes my hairs have fallen, and I have grown old, But still Life is a mystery, which I have to unfold. O Death, come next time, I won’t deny. The more I desire, the more I pray, Lust turning hunter and me its prey, Still frustrated, still unsated Craving for life, swinging midway . O Death, the truth is that, I do not want to die,I never want to die. @Ajay Amitabh Suman © 2018 AJAY AMITABH SUMAN |
