Life And Death Poem by Afnan Elmhlawy

They have killed life
Thinking it will never be born again
But alas and oh my boy
They have forgotten
That he who has life deep inside
Can never be wrought
How much can they be cruel
Trying all their hard
To make him go
But how can he go
The one who ploughs and toils
Life after life
Life brings life
Even after death there is still life

Who are you?
If you think i am a fool
If you think me coward
Or tired
Or for many times hit hard on my head
Cut deep in my heart
For many years
Have lost so many dears
Or buried them deep with my own tears
I am still alive
If dead inside
I am still alive
I will go on and on
Untill my soul stops me and says high aloud
My boy
It is time
To lie down
To say farewell
To your dear life
