Miscreants Poem by ANJANDEV ROY

Miscreants

Rating: 5.0


What a horrible scene
In the open street!
Some miscreants are joyously dancing
On the corpse,
I am observing everything in absolute amazement from the remote corner,
"Is this the civilised world?
Is this the modern world? "
I ask these questions to my great poetic realm,
But even it is afraid to answer,
I remain silent and still.

I AGREE with AP Death is the ultimate panacea some die just like that fall down at a bride table and dieSome are closeted with the docs in an ICU hoping to live a bit more the docs ae not hopeful keep the guy till he does die some come out of clutches wanting to die and they cry So each one has a physical end and as AP says death is the end Grand slam FULL STOP.What happens next none know it nor ever will SO GO SLOW Let death give its finalblow and we all in our own time go

contd. Narrating an incident in Mahabharata, I have written a poem in two/three parts captioned, Birth of Death. I'm not sure it is there on PH or not. However, it is possible that I've missed the angle you had in mind, you may let me know.

You have raised a good point in this poem written so well. This is a tradition that believes Death should be welcome, for, it is a kind of liberation, liberation from old age, disease, and pain. Imagine there is no death. I've seen suffering souls literally crying for death to arrive.
