LIFE AND DEATH
K. B.
Sitaramaiah
“May Death find you fully
Alive” - An Italian saying.
No,
on the contrary, Death
Finds
us almost dead when it comes!
We
live, if to breathe were life enough.
We
are “alive” and doctors thrive.
We
are “programmed” like computers,
We
move and act robot-like,
Our
hearts are dry; we cannot love,
Our
souls sleep: we cannot turn above.
Our
only signs of life are anxieties.
Our
desires and memories.
