Why do you repel death As if you stepped on an uncouth reptile That stupified your mirth with a sting and stiffled your brearth with dark coils round your girth? The sibling death was with you ever since your birth As close and distanced  as the self-effacing unmouthed mammoth  earth. Throughout your path And  passage along childhood to Man or Motherhood You did not see the truth That death was with you ever since your Being to  becoming growth As a naive and native Star in the north. When you giggled and smiled in sleep-shell the death was smiling with you as well. When you dreamed and deemed yourself immortal The death was kind at your daring mettle. When you forgot to know the worth Of the Love Smith Who carved you as the crown of creation The death was with you, an emphatic narration, a gentle witness of your lavished wishes of yourself. Death was around you Embracing your kiths With valour indepth And a love of eternal strength! Still you strolled  uncontrolled to count your mortal home and hearth, Ephemeral wherewithal Death was ever loving And lent you a free living Even when you were  ailing. Still you failed in your mirth To listen and learn From  what its worth Still he is mute and modest as earth And a caring and guiding  north star. Then why do you loathe And  show dearth of love to the one who Loves all in equal strength And blanks out all balance sheets,   That credit and debit all accounts on earth To the remembrance bank of infinity without showing any disparity?

Why do you repel death?
