Records Killed Twice! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Records Killed Twice!

Rating: 5.0


You are dead in records!
Its so shocking and funny to shout I am alive!
Standing in front of you.
Its so disgusting
For old aged pensioner
Asked to prove
He is alive as
Records showing dead.

Just one click of button
On person dead
Gone.....
The person though alive
Is dead in records is dead Forever.
No one can make it alive
After being dead In record.

Everyday going to the office
Telling each and every one
Showing proof of alive
Convincing each one
Whom he gets in contact with.

Finally one year of run
He got in records as alive!
He was so happy
That his hard work Paid well.

But the very next day
He is dead!
Now its kith's and kin running
Behind again the record
To prove
He is dead again!
What can be more funny than this!

As long as alive
He heard only one sentence
You are dead!
He heard it number of times
So confused he got
Tat he felt whether he was alive or dead!

Its only one thing we can tell
Records killed the person twice!

All know that a man born once and die once. But sometimes it is seen that office records shows a person dead due to the error in typing in spite of he is alive. This matter has been so nicely and touchingly inscribed in this poem. Beautifully composed poem.Thanks for sharing.

We are born once and we are dead once. But life records our so many births and so many deaths. Geetha has nicely penned the successes and failures we face in our life. Every new success gives a new birth to us and every failure gives one more death.
