Realisation

by Zinat Faisal   Aug 9, 2015


Look.............that is my dead body
still lying on the bed....
covered with soft linen
oh what a poor dead thing.
No longer can bear the stress of that
soft coverings,
It is powerless, motionless and also speechless
the mouth that once was full of words that never stopped
suddenly stopped forever,
no power to utter a single word.

Why then I chased after this futile world
meaningless and a pauper
who has nothing to give me
and may be I have no power to carry anything from here
even a single thread is a burden for me now.
I have no idea about my destination
though I've already started my journey
those who are still alive
just see how helpless I am now
so don't waste your time like me but
prepare yourself for the journey to the next world
