death

So many tears cried
so many wailings
so much agony felt
so much frustration
so much heartache
so much pain
and yet you still strike again???
Sorrow has filled the air
plans have been left unattended to
promises have been broken unintentionally
Mourning is the order of the day
outcry has burst forth
and yet you are so insatiable and hungry for more??
You have dealt in the same manner with the 80yrs to that of the
2yrs child
does not that child look so small??
What does she know apart from muttering out mummy and
daddy??
Isn’t that 2months child too innocent??
What does she know apart from breast milk??
But what, you’ve struck and she lie helplessly pale there
That man’s life is just starting
Oh he just got a well paying job after that much toiling
he has just started taking care of his aged parents
he just got married
But what, you stricken again.
The poor and the rich you have given the same blow
yes the mad and the reasonable
the intellectuals and non-intellectuals
the hustlers and the well to do
the villagers and the urbaners
the small and the big
The barriers of social strata, you simply don’t care
respectable treatment is with none
you have tolerated none even the unreasoning animals
pity is not an option nor is mercy thinkable
you strike at your time and your time alone
and how that affect anybody is not given a thought
When you strike
the ones not striken are left to wail and to cry
even of their own time not only for the victim at the time,
knowing not when they’ll be your prey
Death…. You are the most foul and criminal traitor of mankind.

Rips right to the heart. It makes one want to cry, it runs that deep.

You show us marvelously the contrasts in society, the struggle of the masses to climb steep hurdles and the the all consuming death which is in the end. Death to me is just physical but the real death is the spiritual one which requires resurrection and correction. An excellent write, sir...:)..........
