Man And Death Poem by Kalipado Mandal

I'm the Man, a little humanbeing

I'm so small, but not so weak

Yes, I am afraid of Death

But have a power, a will to fight

Death can just omit my mortal exist

But not my work, not my soul;

I can make me immortal by what I do,

I can spread myself from man to man by my thoughts,

You can just snatch my life, my earthly existence

But not my ideal,

I'm so small, but not as you,

You can only play bad game with Life

I can make a heavenly World.
