Beauty of Death

Beauty of Death

A Poem by Jamil Isimbabi


Death is beautiful. If it isn't what is?
As it breezes through the world
leaving men wiggling like leaves.
One destiny for man, animal and trees
As it creeps through the crevices
squeezing anything that lives.
Unexpected like a door knock
when it knocks on our door.
God knows, it's no luck 
comes for the rich and the poor
the saint and the w***e
could take a score or more
How can we not adore?
This lifetime-old unsolved riddle
A thing that makes all fingers equal
In sequence like a sequel
No surviving no survival
Indeed life is a travel
Life is brittle
Death is beautiful.

Well you certainly give it an entirely different angle. I wondered what I was in store for when reading this and it is amazing. I loved it's ability to shun the morbid aspect of death. In this piece life sounds more like the enemy and death a sweet reprieve. Good stuff man.

I concur Jamil and ur welcomed.
"Life is brittle
Death is beautiful."
I believe a good death is okay. A bad death like in war or accident leaving too much behind. I believe also. With death. There are no more concerns. A interesting poem. You open the door to a good and long conversation. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

An excellent poem, but there's just one little problem; you say it comes for everyone, but I've decided it's not really for me, so I've decided to opt out of opting out!
