People hate to say your name
Be it old or young
For they want to live their life;
People fear you
For you come in strange ways
Without notices;
People hate you
For your aberrant forms;
People hate you
For you take away loved ones
Without warnings;
People hate you
For you deprive them
Of their sole purpose to live;
People hate you
For reasons innumerable;
Yet, your journey continues
to a different household,
to a new family,
each minute;
People still hope
For those you carried away
to Rest in Peace!

so true!
ReplyDeleteand very nicely written, Latha!
We wish to be away from the God of death, although he is the ultimate truth!
Thanks Uma. Right. He is the ultimate truth, we can't avoid him.
DeleteBut death is just passing on, if not the end of a chapter in the long journey of a soul. But I agree that it is hated when it takes away our loved ones and also feared for its power over humans.
ReplyDeleteIf it is at the end of a long journey, it is inevitable. But why to people who deserve a longer life and whose need is necessary for the existence of others? :(
DeleteZephyr has rightly put it.Still death connotes permanent separation and is disliked by one and all.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice verse from Latha
A permanent seperation...true..thx KP sir.
DeleteVery nicely written Latha gaaru.Just brilliant..:-)
ReplyDeleteEnto Nagini, chala badha tho raasa, andaru mechukuntunnaru...thank u though.

ReplyDeleteDeath is something everyone fears yet inevitable!
Thank you Jaish.
DeleteLive a happy life as one only lives once:)Hate is a small thing to indulge in, Latha though for some it is the source of ultimate happiness!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to understand how Hate could be the source of happiness? :( True, Rahul, we all have only one life and need to live it completely. My fear and pain is that Death ceases that opportunity from us.
DeleteSo true..loved it.

DeleteSo true - and the irony is that death is such a part of life.
ReplyDeleteI agree...was reading 'Krsna' book to my son last night..I read a sentence that Vasudeva tells Kamsa...death is born along with birth...aint it so true?
