Because Death Wants To Die Now Poem by Usman Hanif

Because Death Wants To Die Now



Because all will repeat forever and ever, death takes its leave forever, the question of return - never.
repenting on the bad crop the reaper tells random events of the saga why death wont come back - ever.



'Accused of made up verdict
Strangled up in devil's grip
The law whispers
something unknown
Of joys in the name of crime
And death hangs at the gallows
closing eyes to those object
to the law that prevails.

Eyes fear to look into the eyes
Hope lulled to sleep by the lies
Freedom silenced by their cries
Wisdom snatched from the wise
The humanity wont ever rise
Until sufferings come forth
and make their last sacrifice

The afflicted mother no more cries
Silently watches them take her child
The hungry no more ask for bread
They watch them take away their breath
The jaded lie aside in the silence
Awaiting if their death may return

(it starts from here actually)

Law prevails, death fades, silence fades
away...
Death sails, endurance fails and law still prevails
But cruelty leaves trails as blood leaves stains
trails pave - the routes to reveal ways
to belief...
That awakes the courage to slay
the law that still prevails

And when the courage awakes
Death comes back; not to the dying
but to the law that silenced their justice
To law demise becomes last resort
And chaos becomes the new law
Which some day has to fade away
Into the old law that once sent the death away.'



This town will keep on nourishing and perishing
in the name of law that they crave to idolize...
