Dead Relationship Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
Dead Relationship
what is this relationship with a dead father
what are these offerings to a dead father
what is this for?
whom is it for?
a duty or a right what for?
what the son had to offer a needy LIVING father.....
no one knew....there was no witness
what the son has offered to a dead father....
every one knew....there was quite a crowd to witness
the last right was a perfect performance
a perfect performance and that's what it was
to pacify the soul of the dead father
a perfect performance...out of fear
the SON would continue to perform this every year....
out of FEAR
Rituals performed are believed to enable the freed soul to regain birth...more of a thanksgiving nature in the lighter sense...performing rituals out of fear is superstition...if performed in good faith and in love and respect towards the deceased it should please the mind; should give mental satisfaction and peace to the performing individuals...10
A very good write...but its performed in fear...would have been good if it is performed with love...very well expressed feelings
reallyu true sir, The offerings to one after death is vain what matters is how he is treated while alive Sandhya 10+++++
The poem is a sad reflection of everday reality................... Good Write
It is a sad fact that family ties don't seem to matter anymore, good write that pulls no punches, 10 Lynda xx
well said, great theme...strong family ties no longer exist in our society today due to the fast changing of life style from busy environment and the socio-economic factors that affects the family..10+++++++++
beautiful poem full of facts. thanks for sharing dear friend. ++10
