Fatal Intoxication Poem by Arun Maji

Living is painful, but death is not.
Death is rather a panacea of human suffering.

Then why human fears death?
Why human makes his life a hell
By adding to his already existing misery
While trying to escape the inescapable-
The divinely beautiful death?

If human is here on earth to sing
He must sing with heart and lung out.
Why should he live in fear?

Human suffers uncountable delusions.
The worst one is-
"Human most intelligent amongst all".

Human is blinded with arrogance.
Human is numb with desire.
Human is fatally intoxicated with greed.
Human is too ill to wake up.

No. I don't trust human judgement.
And yes, I am the dumbest of all.
