From Flesh To Dust! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

As long as our body was alive
So lively and beautiful it looked.
Made it more beautiful
By wearing perfect outfit.
By cleaning it, make it fit and healthy.

When dead it's going to smell the worst
It get decayed and harmful to others in no time.

So beautiful it looked when it was breathing in!
Within some hours of death, changed the entire structure of body.

As long as alive it fed on living organism
After death living organisms started feeding on it.

Growing age made the appearance dull.
But experience made it powerful in thinking
Yes, when alive its words can inspire others
It can lend a helping hand to many
It can spread the message of love peace, happiness

Once burnt...
it is reduced to nothing but ashes...the dust...
Which get mixed up with land or water.

Living for self as well as for others make our very purpose of coming to
the world is served.

When dead it will be cremated
But being Alive in the Heart of many is really something great!


Soul is eternal!
