Life's Warring History
-In life;
-hearts of people
-full of gratitudes
-and thanksgivings
-gathers at the throne
-of God's mercy
-supplications and addulations
-rendering the holy air
-with multitude of wishes
-But in death;
-service and contributions
-of men to humanity
-are announced and ushered
-to take the stage
-to keep the vaccum
-left behind the empty shadows
-the good and bad pictures
-shares the same honours
-they all pinches the heart
-and the passages of life;
-from mortal to immortal
-and temporal to eternal
-submitting all glory
-to God at the gate
-of transformations
-to which choice
-they paid the sacrifice
-before the dawn went into dusks..
