Pain Of Death Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Pain Of Death.

Blessed are they who die without knowing.
Their corpses showing
They felt nothing at the point of contact.
Their emotional expression still intact
When they took their last breath
And surrendered their life to death.

Blessed are they for they know not what pain we suffer
When we body view after
The corpses of those who die in pain
Though, our empathy is in vain
We, who live, feel the agony in the facial expression
Of those who feel nothing after expiration.

Dead is dead
A bullet to the head
Or death by fire
You expire

Blessed, then, are those who are dead
Who no longer face the dread
Of haunting nightmares of disfigured bodies
Mangled remains looking morbid
For death, though natural, is feared by all.
The living carrying the pain of death shrouded in a pall.
