Why do you want to live long?
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
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
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
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 .
