Why do you want to live long?

November 3, 2008 · Posted in Inspire & motivate, Spirituality for such a time · Comment 

A man lying on his deathbed says, “I wish God would give me more years.” Even people who are not Christians begin to talk about God the moment they realize that they are dying.

When people celebrate a colleague’s or relative’s birthday, they always say, “We wish you many more years to come.”

If someone asked you how long you would live if you had a choice you most probably would reply, “Forever.”

People generally want to live long. The aged want to live long. The young want to live long. People are generally agreed that it is better to live long than die early. They have managed to define WHAT they want. Read more

To my dear brother

October 31, 2008 · Posted in Books & literature, Poetry · Comment 

looking back in my mind’s eye

it’s all a haze now like a

flurry of feathers on a cloudy morning

the days we spent together

careening in the corridors of this life

are now lost and locked

in deep, dark sockets of time

and just outside you’re

entombed in the greatest

mother of all: earth Read more

I pray

I pray for death’s cold finger

To touch the shallow shells of my master’s frame

Not entirely so that he may linger

And share in my immortal shame

An experience so unkind

That fatality appears as a sweet release. Read more

I want to live

October 28, 2008 · Posted in Poetry · Comment 

I woke up this morning and decided it would be the last

I will control my destiny and make my wishes come true fast

Hold my hand so I can take you there,

And together we’ll get to share eternal bliss,

And smile too, something we’d began to sorely miss,

No more tears for me and you to shed,

Ecstatic that we will both wake up dead

Ode to a dead comrade

September 25, 2008 · Posted in Poetry · Comment 

Here,
near a mount of fresh earth,
this star
born of a peasant
woman,
a visionary,
that fought human made chains,
is now boxed
lifeless,

Everywhere,
round his solitary confinement
are tears and sniffles,
Muffled words recount this dead comrade’s great deeds,
of how he fought
and lived through
reigns of terror and
black-pitched moments, Read more

Live life

I HOPE THIS INSPIRES YOU TO PRESS ON!!!I LIVE BY THIS MOTTO: “I DON’T WANT TO BE FORGOTTEN”.

In life don’t just pass by or allow the ones you leave when you die to ever say you PASSED AWAY. Live to create a hunger in someone that will inspire them. Kindle one dying fire in your lifetime so you can live forever in their thoughts and hearts . So tales of you can be told to countless generations EVENTUALLY when you die people you will leave behind will say YOU LIVED .
