Death an integral part of life 

Is always walking sleeping and breathing with us 

An intimate friend our alter ego but often we don’t realise 

Perhaps we ignore to recognise and appreciate 

But nevertheless she appeals and prompts us to be her best friend 

We neglect and refuse out of our unyielding pride and subtle ego 

Thinking that we have eternity 

But hitherto she never has taken us with her 

And we foolishly think that she has taken her leave 

Instead of being thankful to her gracious gift 

So always we procrastinate to make maximum out of this moment 

The only time available and allotted to us 

When we fully enjoy this moment to the lees 

Death won’t be frightening and gruesome 

Otherwise it will raise hell out of nothing 

Never allowing us to lead a beautiful life 

Forbidding all joys and pleasantries of this world 

Making life difficult bitter and unbearable 

Not only to us but also to others around us 

We realise with a sudden quiver 

When we hear the murmurs of death very close to us 

We should have kept all relations in our grip

Never let it go away even for a while 

For our ego pseudo pride vested interests and selfishness

Often thwart our very essential 

thirst to love and be loved 

Does this sort of a life meaningful?

Not at all we must give it a new dimension 

Go out to the world and enjoy the delights it has in store 

Never hesitate a second to devour ravenously 

The permanent little things of the world 

Forgetting the evanescent bubbly life 

An apprehensive demon who prevents us from 

Running after the harmless delicacies of the world 

And little things that make our life easier and joyous 

So enrich the unsolicited life to the fullest 

Never harming others in words or deeds. 

When luck is on our side just ride it.
