A few feet under....

So happy I am now, with glory all around,
Hope for the future, desire for money and to be where I always wanted to be,
But Oh! What just happened? Did I just have an accident!
And as I lay here on the stretcher I think, this is nothing I will be up and running.

But now what I see, two death angels on top of me,
No! No! I cry, this is not where I should be,
Oh please look away, tell me you are not here for me!
I wish I could scream, go away it’s not yet time for me!

With my eyes falling numb, my hands turning cold,
And Oh the pain is unbearable I can explain no more,
My feet are cramping with my body just tarnishing,
And so helpless I feel, with no energy to move my hands or feet.

And then I hear people scream and cry,
Oh what just happened? Did I just die?
Please don’t close my eyes,
I need to say good-bye!

Here I am now, at the home that I grew in,
Two ladies bathing me but I am not familiar with,
All wrapped up I am now in a white sheet,
And now they are carrying me somewhere I never thought I would be.

Where I enter now, I should have been before,
People offering prayer now for me,
I think this will just spare me,
I wish I had spent some time here when my parents advised me.

I am now lifted up in the air, with four men, one on each side,
Please walk slow I don’t want to be there,
Oh what is this place, so dusty and sandy,
And few men digging a hole, Is this where they will put me?

I lay here a few feet under the world completely shut for me,
They did not even think about keeping me until wee,
I bang on the sides, and scream but no one to listen me,
It was never the case before and I was so full of energy.

My grave starts to shrink now, with ribs twisting apart,
Oh it’s hurting I shout and cry aloud,
Take me out from here I want to breathe,
Oh mom you were always helping me, look what just happened to me.

I thought the world would end without me,
But oh what do I see,
People did not even cry a few days for me!
I wish I had known before so that hell was not for me.

Death just seconds away....

I fell on the ground with blood tipping down,
I knew nothing of what had happened,
The time was just floating,
So weak I felt as if I was nearly dead.

I saw strange men come in,
My mind was just too shaken,
And then I was with all the plug-ins,
Lying helplessly not knowing what had happened.

They all looked weird to me speaking a language I hath not heard,
With my eyes scrolling about, I saw a man just around,
Yes he was the man I had known,
He seemed worried to me, with his eyes still following me.

I had no hope, O God! What will happen if I live no more?
I looked here and there in a hope that I could move,
For this might be my chance for that man to say,
I have always loved you for you are my soul mate!

My heart racing now, with tension building all around,
I said O God! if this is it grant my parents patience, as they need it,
Memories now floating my mind, had I done any good in so many years time?
I turned up to God and said, ‘O God! please forgive my sins'.

What if this is it? Has my life even started?
For I hath not known, life is short and may last no more,
And so helpless I felt that day…
With death just seconds away……

The world around me....

As I sit here, the world around me rocks,
with people laughing about, so full of joy,
with kids free of worries in a environment so green,
with students in a hope for a future, already living their dreams.

As I sit here the world around me excels,
with technology rising every day,
with progression everywhere,
with developments hard to conceive.

As I sit here I think about the world far far away from me,
with people dying of hunger,
with brothers killing one another,
kids with a broken arm or leg, left in despair.

As I sit here I think about the world that still rocks
with the sound of barrages,
with the lightning of the blasts,
with the smell of gunpowder,

And as I sit here I think about the world so gloomy,
with still expectations exceeding their grief,
with desperation making them hearty,
with still hope, belief, optimism and dream...
