YES, BIRTH AND DEATH ARE INEVITABLE!
Alas! When a near and dear one does die,
The bereaved hearts do helplessly cry!
They uncontrollably bleed with no drip of blood till they die,
If anyone claims to be an exception, one definitely does lie.
The vacuum left by the deceased, lies vacant till eternity,
Alas! The loss remains irreparable for the ensuing posterity!
All sad and sore sobs, and painful pangs, finally, end in smoke,
No matter, whether grief does mercilessly suffocate you, or choke!
All, however stout, seem ineffective and powerless before Time,
But, is He not often accused and denounced with no culpable crime?
Thus, He inaudibly hums, “Do
you ever praise Me when you are alive?
Why do you then blindly, insensibly and, in vain, reproach Me and
jibe?”
Hark! “Birth and Death are inevitable parts in the scheme of Time’s
Creation,
Without the indispensable Death, how can one attain, at last, a
sweet Salvation?”
Glossary:
Vacuum – emptiness/empty space
Posterity – all future generations
Denounced – condemned
Culpable – blameworthy
Reproach - blame
Jibe – taunt
