'Good Bye' Poem by Rev. Viji Eapen

[ This Poem is a satire over our human life and human feelings, in a fast moving competitive world, becoming more and more mechanical and objective respectively.]

Looking to the coffin,
'Good Bye! ', I told her
Said I again.
But,
She didn't hear.
White was her face,
And closed were her eyes,

Louder I said, 'Good Bye'
Not dead was her, I knew.
Just sinking.
But,
Bound were her arms,
And tied were her toes.

Me who bound, me who tied,
No time to be wasted.
It is done!
'Good Bye'

I've a party...
Let me go now,
My job is done!
So...'Good Bye'

For her, 'Rest in peace'.
For me, rest, in peace.
Good Bye!
