Death Pains Poem by Mazwi Sedibe

Death Pains



Birth life death
Joy happiness mourning
Unity separation solitude
Ignorance knowledge understanding

Death life then birth
Mourning happiness then joy
Separation solitude then unity
Understanding yields knowledge
And extinguishes the flame of ignorance

Death pains sorrowful
The separation we hate
Understanding the sought out fate
Death pains a lingering task
burns inside like a hot water flask
