talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles blues
...

A certain yaksha who had been negligent in the execution of his own duties,

Ground-level rooftops hidden by the shrubbery;
Sporadic haystacks standing on the grass;

Little thought itself disturbs the mind
Thoughts of leaving dear ones or something of that kind
Shakes whole body in disbelief and remain perturbed
What would be the fate? Condition so disturbed

Really life is difficult, painful and embarrassing now-a-days. No friends, no relatives, no love, no hug. Even wife and husband not willing to come together to comfort each other in this time of grief.

This time, a burning fire leaving no space to stay in. Really, how selfish we are! How fearful to death! We know, though, death is inevitable. Where is humanity? No one is ready to take risk and coming forward with a smile.
