Living Eternally Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

Living Eternally

Rating: 4.5


Snakes are hissing,
Sharks gaping their mouths,
Lions roaring
And slave-owners setting their traps;
Where will you flee?

Life is not safe into caves.
Life is not safe in waters.
Life is not safe in forests
And in society.

O man, where will you go then?
Will you die without fighting?
Man is born to die;
But dying for making the better earth
Is not called dying.
It is called living,
Living eternally.

Life is not safer in forest, water, or caves or society because of growing pollution in environment and noncooperation and violence in society. People need to live safer life. Life is full of struggle. Still men carry the hope of living. Birth leads to death but still man has to work. Living eternally man can feel life's essence. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned.
