Race With Time Poem by Preetam Shetty

VERY EVOCOTIVE, WE MUST ALL OF HAD OUR LIVES TOUCHED IN SOME WAY BY CANCER, I LOST A SOULMATE VERY RECENTLY, AND IF GOOD PIECES OF WRITING LIKE THIS RAISES AWARENESS OF THIS MODERN DAY CURSE, THEN ALL THE BETTER. WELL DONE, MY FRIEND PREETAM

A powerful piece. It asks us to respect and remember all those who suffer without over stating the point. You could go on and on about suffering but the power is in the point being made simply and effectively. Keeping faith in human nature is something that we seem to be lacking, but this poem restores this paucity of faith.

this is what i call rich. figures of speech and wonderful expression. i like this one. Thanks for sharing.

Harch word but still soft and meaningful a sweet lullaby of words tender and sweet to take with you till the end, my thanks to you, a wonderful poet // mallory...

'I see the glow of a candle fade, So tender and sublime, I know the quest has begun, My race with time.' from this stanza you can not really tell that it was going to talk about cancer patients.... coz this stanza is more universal in the sense that everyone the day they are born the race with time begins but looking at it with a different eye it may sound like the words of a person who is growing up fast yet they have not achieve what they want to achieve and they begin to wonder if they are going to beat time coz the clock will be ticking..... but i thank you so much for dedicating this piece to cancer patients and i respect you for sharing such a great poem.... we also pray for them and remember them. keep up the sense of humanity that you have and we are going to be here standing for those who have such values.... thank you once again... chao kuda

I really respect your love for humanity. There are so many bad people out there, but there are so many good people who make up for the bad, even with their little bit of love. But I suppose the bad people aren't bad, they just do some bad things.. I feel that everyone has the ability to do good in this world. Even if it's just a small gesture. Thankyou for your powerful words.... Marina Gasbey....
