What Shall We Take? Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

What Shall We Take?

Rating: 5.0


What shall we take where to go?
After death you soon all show.
We do not know at all where?
We have to go tell us in care.

What shall we take with us,
Give a list of things long thus.
We should take money, gold,
With warmness of bed or cold.

Who can answer us on talking?
How much we get on walking?
How can we all gather and tie?
We do not know who will die?

Let us cry and try to take hands,
After death who wealth sends?
Who spends after life with care?
We should think more on chair.

Wonder this life is we can not,
We take nothing even body plot.
How can hands will move with us?
Oh awake surrender in God in truss.

After death we cannot take anything in life. Even body we shall leave here. We should practice spiritual values in life which will go with us along with good resolves.

Bare hands we came, bare hand we aught go, This simple theme known well by all is still hard to put to practice, so well put in poetic wise words.
