Decent Farewell Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Decent farewell

Tuesday,5th June 2018

Why is burial must?
if you believe in tradition and trust
why are the religion rituals aim at decent farewell?
is the soul going to witness the final journey?

whatever he or she did during the lifespan
as bad or good human being
the people may be knowing about it
yet they shall join the funeral procession

the ill feeling disappears
and unknown fear grips
the mind and body about final fate
the person thinks seriously about

yes, life is such tragic event
and people present
full respect for the departed soul
and treat the dead body well

whatever we did in the past
that doesn't last long
the burial is given in a befitting manner
no one utter bad words later
