Even The Alphabets End With 'z' Poem by Nabeel Ahmad

Sun was gone, moonlight was on
While placing a glass of wine on table,
My ears heard 'TingTong.'

O Lord! ! My door was then knocked..
I stood up to open it; as i was sitting for-'so long'.

A gentleman was standing on the doorstep,
With small hairs on head;
And a grace on face, his lips asked-
'Sir, will you come with me for a walk? '

I asked him- do we know each other?
He said-your fate was destined to meet me here.
'Where do you live? ' Was my next question...
'I am your neighbour, ' he replied, 'you need not fear.'
'Join me for a drink, ' i asked, 'don't simply stand outside.'
'No sir, ' was all he said, 'i wont drink tonight.
I came here so that we can go for a walk.
We will also indulge ourselves in some talk.'

I wore my shoes, put on my track,
Turned off the lights and locked my flat.
'Which path should we choose,
So that we do not lose...'

'The path taken by the majority'-he told
'Walking on the roads between the hillfolds.
I know that it's too far,
But don't worry, you will feel the comfort of a car! ! '

'Tell me something about you.
What's your job & what do you do? '

'Well, ' he said, 'I am habitual of addressing old and young ones,
All the animals, birds, insects and even humans! ! '

Omg! That's a strange job...
I thought that work was all about oscillating a pendulum bob.
'So how many places till date have you been? '
He said-'there's no place left on the globe.'

'Do you have children? what about your wife? '
'No sir, ' he replied, 'I don't believe in any love, any life.'
'why? What happened? ' I asked in a manner of surprize.

He began-
The dusk is gone, the dawn will arise.
This moonlight will get over, the sun will again rise.
This is life sir.This is all about life.
Trust no future, no dream howsoever pleasant.
Please sir, i request-believe in the present.
Let the dead past bury its dead,
Heart within and the Almighty on head.
Hair is black and the blood is red.
We sleep on bed and are spoonfed.

But why the hell we forget,
There's an Almighty- The SUPREME HEAD.
Sir, u know, even the alphabets end with 'Z'.
My name is Death, sir, my name is Death.
This is why i don't possess any wife.
That's the reason, i don't believe in any love, any life...
