Prayer to Death:Ajay Amitabh Suman


Limbs are yet to grow,Am just in the womb,
Eyes are, but without brow,and heart is yet to pump.
O Death, You must be having other things to occupy.

Am such a little kid Just attempting to walk,
still stutter in uttering Am striving to talk.
O Death, come later,i won’t defy.

My friends are few,More have to be made,
Books are left unread,Games are to be played.
O Death, Hold on, not the time yet to reply.

Have fallen in love,With gorgeous wife,
Heart is singing and,Joy has come to life.
O Death, give me some time & I will comply.

Children, to be taken care of,Elders to be protected,
Ethics in society shaken,Needs to be corrected,
O Death, time is not ripe to tell the life good bye.

Though money I have made,But no time to spend,
Erred in life many times,Still left ways to amend.
O Death, time is still not ripe, please do not spy.

Yes my hairs have fallen,And I have grown old,
But still Life is a mystery,and I have to unfold.
O Death, come next time, I won’t deny.

The more I desire, the more I pray,
Lust turning hunter and me its prey,
Still frustrated, Still unsated
Craving for life, swinging midway .
O Death, the truth is that,
I do not want to die, I never want to die.
