of life and death

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful

of life there is all that we know
ambitions,
survival between hope & despair
we know what it means to be alive
physically;
though one might be dead
walking a-live among men.

of life we've seen a lot
aspiration,
filling it with what seems fill-able
wealth, fame and all that seems to matter
materially;
though the body is ravaged
ploughed like a barren land.


of death one can only surmise
until he dies himself to taste it
then only will one know indeed
what it is meant of what he has been told
of life and death.
