"The death and I"
By TheCritics
Oh dear death, adore me, when
I am young! For, I, wish them remember me a youth Skin void of stale and bones, with zest still clung.
Let wither inside never face their
ruth.
--------------
Oh dear death, claim me, before I turn uncouth!
Let me be loved and never be devoid.
Ardent desire held high, and the
Untruth.
Be burnt; let me have bareness ever destroyed.
Oh dear death, take me when peak is enjoyed!
Let me be source of hope, but not despair
But never a 'man' who failed and lost somewhere.
-------------
Let them see, 'man', who fought for change deployed.
Oh dear death, rescue me; bless peace with care
I wish to go with belief kept and shielded
That land of equals', is soon to be there.
That caste and class will soon be shed and yielded.
---
Oh dear death, grant me,
'you' ; with sickness sever
Grant 'glory', and embalm me high forever.
