Poetry: Oh Do Not Forget So Soon (suicide Is Profane) by Gaffass(m): 11:49am On Apr 26, 2021 |
OH DO NOT FORGET SO SOON (SUICIDE IS PROFANE) when climbing the hilltop seem no longer in sight And day become shorter and longer the night, When the hands can't grab the dreaming goods of the mind And the head can't grasp any more, tends to abscind, The heart begin trembling and the spirit failing, The ugly hand of death turned soft and comforting. Oh do not forget so soon; The great beauty of this life Ever faithful mother earth: The dancing leaves of the trees The adorable flowers The brilliant smiles of the sun The humid looks of the sky The stillness of the sea The sane silence of the night The cool morning breeze The beautiful smiles of mothers The innocent charm of kids The glowing faces of ladies Oh do not forget so soon. You see death as freedom Why not seek the freedom in life? You think in death is rest? Yet can't seek the rest in life. If you know that you are a piece of life And that you can never end life, Only your illusion is about to be ended, Will you rather awake from your illusion, Or end what you never knew how it started? Oh do not forget so soon that life is sacred, Do not forget so soon that suicide is profane. by Okim Otu |
