The Death Poem by Pallab Chaudhury

The death, to honour-
I take re-birth again and again with zeal.
It was the auspicious birth-day of mine
When the umbilical chord was torn
In my mother's womb.
Bidding good bye the child-hood days-
Full of simplicity,
I put my first step towards adolescence.
And loosing the flicking days
Of adolescence, here is my youth.
This' the way, I am going ahead
Shaking hands of a series of death
To continue the life.

It's the death which is bringing forth
Diverse beauty and newness in life.
So, before I leave
I'd like to keep
An open letter under a pen-

Oh death! Oh charming death!
Show me with your welcome song
The new era and

The end-less joy and emancipation.
