Yama's Cold Breath Poem by Vibhav Kshitiz

A world without death
Where you will never take one last breath
And loved ones will never have to mourn
Because from life we could never be torn

We would not worry about the afterlife
Nor ever have to feel the strife
Of losing those who are dear
Because death is nowhere near

A life without dying
No more funerals, full of people crying
Freedom from the dread
Of knowing that one day we will all be dead

But without death
People will fail to treasure every breath
And life would be mean nothing
For what is life without death?

We are as candles
burning brightly in the shadows
only waiting to be snuffed out
by Yama's cold breath
