Feel not proud-Death

Tuesday,7th Dec 2021

Death

you are garlanded with calm breath

we have faith, confidence and trust

we adore you with fear and mistrust

we all know

and go

by the simple assumption

you are a calm assassin

you take away the soul

with tactics and foul

give us no hint

and simply take out the death print

we laboured hard

collected and amassed

a treasure to be left behind

we simple go empty handed

now we have made up our mind

we shall find

enough of pleasure

let the tomorrow be unsure

you can take us only once

that too by chance

we shall never be afraid

even if we are forced to be laid in the grave
