O Death!
Cruel Death!
You can never object my path!
The fierce fury upon thy face
Can't a least afright my race!
Thou art shadow of fright and horror,
Thou art frantic falcon of fear,
Fluttering over my head and around,
Aiming at me your beak violent.
Oh I see thee frantically wander
Placing thy hands upon my right shoulder!
But thy furious rage-
That upon you always pride-
Can never frighten nor stop me stride!
I remind you devote me rather
Coz always you serve my Father
My Father-whose love I'm blessed
And my Mother-
Under whose affectionate fonds I rest!
O thou fool!
Thou bewildered fellow!
The object thou wishest to prey upon
Is a shadow,
A beguiling fancy,
That thou waste thy labour upon!
I was,
I am,
And I shall be!
Till sun shall shine,
Till earth shall live,
Till stars and comets are free
I was, I am and I shall be!
You are fearless with a great zest for life and belief in survival till end of end! ! Excellent write! !
great expression, , , and great feeling... life and death....
Though the message of the poem can be transpired to a mass of men and women, the fact remains that death frightens every one. A cancer patient knows it, a man who is about to die after meeting with a severe accident knows it, a man threatened with death calls knows it but not any of us when we sit back and philosophise about life when death is not around us. I am afraid of death.. I am scared of it ever..... I appreciate your 'boldness'!

I would like to translate this poem
Death can, perhaps destroy our body, but it cannot take away our life (soul) that is immortal! ! A strong affirmation of your faith in a life after death through a beautiful poem!
