Death Poem by Pravat Kumar Mandal

Death
Pravat Kumar Mandal

Death has two aspects - good and bad
Sometimes benign, sometimes ruthless.
Though all death is sad, very sad
He relieves us from the distress.

Who wants to leave this happy home?
‘No' is an apparent answer.
If the home full of troublesome,
The answer loses its temper.

Life and Death both untouchable
Life is full of experience,
But Death indecipherable
Obliged to obey in silence.

Death constant, free from pretension
No one can deny his power.
Formless limitless expansion
Known as an absolute slumber.
