Death Is Better Than Retirement. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Death Is Better Than Retirement.



His exit is due today.
The send off is befitting.
The eulogy is lip deep,
Not with a heart to weep.
He returns with heavy heart
He would be in them after his exit.
It is not to happen.
He has to weep ever since.
The same thing will happen
When he leaves the world
But he will not be there to weep.

Retiring from work shouldn't mean waiting in god's waiting room...........

very nicely written....retirement we really do not have...it is only from work...work does not constitute entire life....
