Values of Life
(a poem by Shakil Ahmed)

Pace of life and values of life
Are full with panic and doubts.
At the fag end of life, our life and death
Depends on scraps of memory
That floats through the passage of time.
Body,roasted in blazing ember,
Searches for lost love in the waves of evening breeze
But love is lost in the expanse of sky
That surrounds with fiery darkness
We search for our lost childhood
Vivacity of adolescenc and lost values
In the relentless scudding of fleeting time
In the tender light of yawning morning
Frequently we search for our lost youth
In the sky embellished with hues of rainbow
Helplessly with the shame of futile life
But that too has lost forever
In the windy night of new moon
We have clasped our sinful soul
Along with groaning of pain and petty huff
One day we shall be defeated before the power of life
Ourcherished dream, and scraps of memory will fade forever
Terribledeath will trace us
Getting smell from murmuring breeze
Glory of mundane world will turn into
A colossal nothingness,and
A never-ending silence will pervade everywhere.
