The Angel Of Death Poem by Nazeer Akbarabadi

The Angel Of Death

Rating: 4.9


Discard greed and temptations, forget your travels to near and far;
The bandit of death is blowing his trumpet and indulging in looting day and night;
Why are you roaming from place to place with all your paraphernalia;
Not even a twig will eventually go with you when your death arrives;
Your riches and grand life style are all left behind when the angel of death loads you on his back;

Do not feel proud of your swords and shields;
They will abandon you on seeing the spear of death;
Alone in a desert would you then eat the dust of the grave;
In that desert, indeed Nazeer, not even an insect would care to visit you;
Your riches and grand life style are all left behind when the angel of death loads you on his back.

So sad but we all will receive that call, when the angel of death loads us on his back.

Your riches and grand life style are all left behind when the angel of death loads you on his back.This is amazingly so realistic. This is a warning to people who think that they are above everyone and everything. I like this prose, this poem.

Death is ultimate and no one can escape it, we all know this truth yet we keep our eyes closed towards it. A thoughtful poem.
