'Get up old man,
leave your body here from where it rose
I shall carry your soul there
where body is not needed.'
'Dear Angel!
You didn't address me dear,
Though I am shivering with fear,
and I don't see any loved one near,
but I am not an Angel,
I am a man of manners,
yes, I am a sinner,
but I am hopeful,
my God is so much beautiful,
though he never forgets
but he always forgives.
I know you are a stunner,
but all your beauty is overshadowed
by your rudeness.
If I would have at your place
I would have increased my grace
by saying Get up dear old man,
I address you Dear Angel
Though you are at all not polite!
Oh! You are an Angel!
When you cannot cry,
How you will smile.
I am not beautiful like you, so what?
You cannot see my heart
You don't know who lives there,
So do what you have come to do here.
I shall see you there.
I am proud of being a sinner man,
as I cry on my sins,
and I smile when My Lord forgives me.'
A deeply philosophical poem- A dialogue with the Angel of death. Very thought provoking poem. Thanks for sharing the same. By the way, inverted comma may please be closed towards the end.
One may be like an Angel but if he is rude all his good qualities are overshadowed by his rudeness. A nice message.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
The Angel of death is very rude....! He has to be or else no body will obey him. If he is mild and gentle, death will not happen, as all of us want to live on, no matter how aged we are! However I shall tell him to spare you this time as you have become so indispensable on poem hunter...(ha.... ha!)
Thanks for this unique display of a great sense of humour,
