Truth of life!

It only seemed like yesterday when they were family;

Centre, my second home, t’was full of glee.

A huge family I couldn’t live without

But two years passed by without a doubt.

Now they were here, in front of me,

Asking me to stay and not flee.

I thought I was away from all that shit

But I couldn’t control even a bit.

What was I thinking? I don’t know.

Memories came flooding and gave me a blow.

I looked at him, it gave me a chill,

For the cheerful man was now so still.

His mother wept throughout,

His brother went paranoid.

All is gone, all is fake,

There is nothing we can take.

A lesson I learnt with strife

That Death is the ultimate truth of life.

I pray, my friends, only this much,

Remember always to keep in touch!

Rest in peace – Vijay and Uncle! dedicated to their family and loved ones…
