Death God Poem by Thirupathi Vennum

Death God



Oh! Came you already? ?
Alas! I did not expect!
Please show some mercy
I have a lot of things to complete..

My friends whom I played with in childhood wait for my call
Girls bore my love in teenage shock and fall
Have been greedy all the time for money, power and fame...
So proud, hard and foolish was I with my name...

My wife she is so sweet and innocent
Obeyed all my orders and became complacent
Jewels, money like common woman she never wanted.
Talked never back and no excuses ever demanded

Can't you please give one last chance..
To kneel down before her to tender my apology..
Earned crores of money and so was reputation..
Where is it not coming to rescue in emancipation...

How you attacked me so suddenly like a rodent being caught by a venomous snake..
Asking me to come with you instantly making all my things bitter fake..

See all those my crying prodigy..
They haven't started their journey...like buds to blossom..
I gave them neither my details of accounts
nor skills of my money making talents..

Can't you just wait a moment
To wipe away their tears as a parent....
My parents they break their heart seeing me going in bamboo bed...
Tenderly they brought me up and slept me in rose bed..

Oh God of elimination please permit me a second...
Oh king of excretion
I beg you hault me a second
I go and touch the lotus feet of my parents..
And offer my last special prayer in reverence......
