And I got lost in my sober reflection
What is life; and how meaningful?
How could I know when I am living?
Is this my life not a one -costly dream?
Life must be an illusion
Just like a shadow and mirage
Swiftly and in a twinkle it fades
And for eternity remains the same.
Man; think about thy self
A costly and ancient Socratic injunction
To tell that life is a dream
And soon to wake up in eternity
What a hard truth to hear?
What a glorious sad news to break?
That a beloved is no more; gone
Leaving behind admirers turned into mourners
Cry out not your eyes in despair
For you never know the next moment
Who next to follow the dead
It is surely inevitable
Enough is enough Oh death!
Why are you so wicked like this
What offence have we committed?
To merit this your sudden blows.
Mind we then what we do with our life
Death has sworn an oath to finish us
We are merely living like condemned criminals
Knowing not who is next to follow.
