MAN WILL DIE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS

MAN WILL DIE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS

Edited by P GAAN

The title appears awkwardly strange
I beg excuse for showing such courage.
It is true that man will die,
From Monday to Sunday, this won’t be a lie.
If a man knows that his life has only seven days span.
Let us study his mental reactions and his rest of life’s plan
His attachment to his body and the world
Will make him mad and very sad.
His near and dear ones will come running
A little for him and more for them, worrying and thinking.
Can he enjoy his wealth and time in merry,
Or will he try to finish his work in a hurry?
Will he make his graveyard as per his choice?
But after his death, for its use, he will have no voice.
His mortal love and illusion will tempt him to make his will
As if all will belongs to him after his death, which he believes still
He forgets to think “How will he be”?
And after his death “Where he will be”?
Will there be any pleasure or pain?
To nourish him then, will there be any loving brethren?
Forget we in our worldly pursuits.
To know and earn His nectar like sweets
Politicians hurry up to give their his thrones to their sons
Business men ensure their business to pass to their own.
Artisan teaches his heir the last lesson,
To express his parting sentiments, poet goes for his heart touching creation.
Nobody spares time and opportunity and takes rest,
To see that his own man gets the best.
Mo gody has tiome yop think and thank the gelovef man
Who are now wiyh him and will also remain then.
