The Fear of the living

Written first on 23/july/1990 and later updated

Death is fear of living
Its thought,
brings insecuirty
but cultivates ambition

Its feeling,
brings philosophy
and builds purpose for living

its nature,
brings out a persons life
principles of a life lived

Age of death
brings sympathy for the young
brings misery for middle age
brings pity at old age

Death of good, makes him a just
death of great, makes him a legend
death of wise, brings great sorrow
death of brave, makes him a hero

Death is no end of life
Death is mirror of ones life
Death should be a beginning
for death can have no death

Death is the beginning for another life. (According to Shelley's Adonais. If possible pl. read.). You work is very good.

Deadly poem, Sridhar. Your work is indeed very good . Maybe you should compile your poems in a book form.
