Reena’s Exploration Challenge #108
‘Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave ‘
I know
I can’t change
anything in this world:
anything which is fake
or
the attitude of people towards life,
towards the environment, poverty, religion
and their consumption of nature’s gifts
without sharing equally
I do not approve
either
nature’s law of death
why make people
in old age
vulnerable
why not they can keep
their innocence, fearlessness, and cheer
like a child
till the end
then let death come
with all its novelty
to carry on nature’s law
and allow them to go slowly, gently, peacefully, graciously
down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
I wish I could say:
and I’ve not resigned
but
what ho!
I have no power
no voice
no choice
though
I make a lot of noise
but here I resign.
What else can I do
except changing myself
