Die And Let Live Poem by nader baheri

Die And Let Live

Rating: 4.7


Last night i dreamt a funeral
The angels, the people and the Lord above all

A requiem being sung, gave me the hint
That was spread your wings

The black clothed men and women? none
I heard someone murmured
Come closer, son

See the dead body, lost her grace
See her cold frozen bloodless face

Her ruined black beautiful eyes
She accepted the death's guile

Be brave
Put her body in the grave
Her life couldn't have been saved
The angel of death is now her slave

Did she think she was immortal
She was a human after all

When she was dying
I heard a baby's crying
May God forgive her
Cause the gift of life
Is given to another

When a baby is born, the God shows that he still believes in humans and humanity. there are hops, they are chances. the life is going on, but in different conditions and different aspects. there are lots of things that we never can deny, at the top of them, is death. and there is a creature that we all will see a day, He is called the angel Of death. But at the end, Allah will bless us all in his infinity light well done. so great

probably you are right that one dead, another born. I don't think the death is a horrible thing to happen.

Very in-depth analysis in the writing i felt...i specially liked the phrase blacked clothed men and women and their particularisation mainly Islam followed by the others-Christs, clergymen, priests, lawyers and so on.They are coated black as there are lies hidden for truth or perhaps they absorb all the colours of the white polychrome to represent the darkest sides of life.Well done
