LIFE, A BEAUTIFUL LIE; DEATH, A PAINFUL TRUTH


Today I saw one, two, three bodies;
Bodies that were themselves helpless;
Helpless because they arrived in body bags;
Bags for those that have taken a great walk...

Today, I saw one, two, three bodies;
Bodies that took turns for a purification bath;
Bath not meant for a special occasion;
Occasion for those leading a path beyond...

Today, I saw one, two, three bodies;
Bodies that could take personal decisions;
Decisions of why, how, who, what, when, and whatever;
Whatever is now long departed from them...

Today, I saw one, two, three bodies;
Bodies whom are someone's else family;
Family as father, mother, children or other relations;
Relations that death have caused their separation...

Today, I saw one, two, three bodies;
Bodies that may have lived life, a beautiful lie;
Lie that made them forget the hereafter;
Hereafter, the eternal life after here...

Today, I saw one, two, three bodies;
Bodies that have tasted death, a painful truth;
Truth which is a destination of every soul;
Soul which returns finally to its creator, so prepare it...
