The Creative Dead Poem by M. Asim Nehal

The Creative Dead

Rating: 5.0


A body may live a long and active life,
but making a brain operate is difficult.

Some people live a corporeal existence
and keep feeding it, but they are creatively dead.

They have no thoughts to thrive on, no innovations to make;
they simply feed the body and enjoy the food.

They want to be known, famous, and wealthy,
The people around them are aware that they are living.

But are they alive or just existing for the sake of eating?
It is for you to decide, use your head as much as possible.

Interesting point, mind and body they work together with some purpose, if brain gives up body is mere a body.
