abhimanyu kumar.s - On Death

Today I want to touch
The most mysterious and relentless
About the inevitable truth of man
I mean about death.

Does death mean the end or
Does it merely open another life
You may say what I say
To you is absurd and phony
I question you but why?

When you can wish
Wish of becoming a president or
Wish of getting a first rank or
Wish to see Sachin's ton ton
Or many and many other wishes
Which you may or may not attain.

Then how can you neglect
A truth which is 'The Certain'
The things which you wish
Are the uncertainties of life
The only certainty is in death.

A death which is so true
But still we fear of it.

Death is an art
And a man who acknowledges this
Is the one who lives in true sense
See the death before you live
And live before you leave
Because death is a chance.
