The day I died
I watched my body closely
While drifting above
When everybody cried..
I saw them covered my body
A social identity
That hid many secrets
Got me ready for last journey..
I saw me lying soulless
Laughed at my follies and mistakes
Even after a soulless life
Should I lament for a carcass?
All I did was to chase a mirage
With anger, jealousy, lust, deception
Never cared for anything else
Killed emotions for applause
The day I died
I saw the life I lived
Like a film infront of me
Whizzed past like a sigh
The day I died
I floated again free
Shunning the vices
Where my soul was trapped
The day I died
I became alive
I realized that only now
A soulful life started…
