Pack your luggage

Thursday,3rd June 2021

 

Life has served me a notice

and surprised with a call

"pack up your belongings"

you shall cease as a human being

 

nothing shall accompany

it is an order from an almighty

you are leaving without notice

you have no choice

 

I wonder at this hide and seek game

whom to blame?

we are given a short span

we can't do as we want!

 

can you not be a little late?

today is not an auspicious date

you can get me later

"no, no respite and no more" life retorted

 

is this a task in our life's journey?

that we are not free

to lead and enjoy

immediate halt by destiny really annoyed me

 

If I have to be taken away,

let life has a say!

make us frighten at any time

and threaten us sometimes
