Not that we haven’t seen it
We all have swum river of death
We have held death very tight
In love
In relationships
In Friendship
In Dreams
In Desire.
Today
With a sense of uncertainty
We are overwhelmed
In an unbearable fear
We are confused
No mood to rejoice
sunrise and sunset
We decline
Greetings from death,
Reluctant to accept
the cosmic fact.
O human!
You’re amazingly courageous
Infinitely extraordinary
You can jump over
The mountain of fire
You can swallow
A sea full of poison
You are never immortal,
Mind the fact,
Death and existence
Only two states of affair
Let’s fight off
Fear of death
Must live
Till we die a fearless death.
