Death Rituals Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Death rituals
Tuesday,16th Nov 2021
Death is a reality
and it has acceptance universally
life has cessation
ending the worldly relation
world all over
the faith covers the rituals
by all the individuals
and not taken as casual
so long life is there
the value is added with flavour
life has shown its worth
till taken over by the death
'how long have you lived'it matters less
but how did you spend and try to believe
in its principles and basis
and translated its thesis into real life
if birth is celebrated with funfair
the death reminds us of cavalry here
no one underrates its importance
but feels no tense when it comes
death prepares you for another life
each religion has faith
with rituals in a different style
as each one of us is supposed to miles in that way
