I Want To Die A Natural Death Poem by Raju Himanshu

Nowadays polluted is
This village
This place
This town,
This country

Nowadays terrified is
East
West
North
South
Everywhere

In the village you born
In the place I born
Carrying animosity in mind
Men are looking for a chance to murder men
You have to die or be killed for my life
I have to die or be killed for your life
Compulsion is there
In this polluted town
In this jealous city
People won't die simple death
People won't die natural death
Nowadays
A patient dies due to over dose of drugs
A medical death occurs
A traveler dies in a road accident
An accidental death occurs
A man dies due to over drinking of alcohol
An alcoholic death occurs
A person banishes from society and dies
A social death occurs
A lover dies due to treachery of her lover
A romantic death occurs
A leader gets stabbed and dies
A political death occurs
So deaths are many in forms
I don't want to die such deaths
But I want to die a natural death
Yes, a natural death I want to die
A timely death I want to die
But I ask me myself-
Who died?
A natural death
A timely death
In the polluted village
In the terrified place
In the jealous town
In the insecure country
In the East
In the West
In the North
In the South
Everywhere
Till date
This year
Who died?
