A Poem Dedicated To My Murderer

Rating: 4.9


If you strike a dagger in my chest
Do ponder
Air has no body.

Air is flow
Of running seas of life
It's a long story
Which has no beginning
And no end.

If you strike a dagger in my chest
Do ponder
Air is immortal
Air is mother's pat
Air is sound of a lullaby
Air is a prayer
Out of the mouth of babes!

(1983, Translated by Samina Amjad)

wonderful idea to ponder on, so, allow me to hit you back; 'Air' is the spirit, the 'dagger' cannot destroy it but Words can actually 'strike a dagger in my chest'

very nice. I hope air is immortal, but somehow I doubt this to be the case. I give you air's lifespan might seem immortal compared to a human life. In the end I am of the beleive that the sun is going to kill everything on this Earth; by the sun balloning into a red giant star out to Mars. If we, and I mean the human race cannot get along for a comman good we will die as if we never were! ! ! thanks my friend
