It is terrible to survive as consciousness buried in the dark earth.....great write; the suffering of the death in every sense of life is active; There is pain in the veins of death consciousness, misery in the veins; No one wants to accept that. Even after this, everyone has to be the victim of that inevitable dirty inspiration. End comes for the dead and the earth survives, the sunlight lit up the entire just as before; Nature moves at its own pace. Loved ones like that......

This poem could be read much better than this. The reader sounds like a robot, with no feeling.

Just heard a portion of this translated into French on the radio. Not quite as smooth but still moving. Agree with Mr Britton: to be read again and again and again.

I miss the rhyme and meter but it leaves behind a reality without the struggle for sound alike
