Death

By Basil Sunday Ekenobi wttn... 18\2/00

Unregulated being
Invisible- visible action
Incredible among youths
Accurate time keeper
Fear of the rich
Causing rivers to flow on cheeks

Scatterer of brotherly plans
Enemy of the living things
Immortalizer of mortals
Silent intruder
Mother- in- law of illness
Sister- in- law of diseases
Immediate brother of accidents

Even the most beautiful
You must surely visit
You are the cause of hospitals
Of spirituality and churches
To prepare the soul against you
When you came to exist I do not know

From whom do you come
Fear of my life?
I hate you but somehow
I know that one day
Only a second in an hour
Is enough your action
To take me away from the surface

Undated day, the day will be,
You will get hold of my body
My love for you is more of hatred
I know you must surely visit
My humble body of dust
I am so great that a greater
Fearful soldier will come to me


I will welcome you
Since it is only once
Only but once in a life time
Like a rocket to the moon I will go.



Please tell me what you think
