Unanswered

I am inspired to kill myself tonight
While I sit in contemplation of this inexplicable plight,
A dual mind's existence sows much necessary confusion-
About existence or death of my living illusion.
A thought provoking concept it is- suicide!
Regarded as the easiest way to hide-
All the strengths of your body and weaknesses of your mind,
When only a memory is left behind!
But death is not a mere aura, but it is end,
It is end, end of all and everything you've left to mend-
Now all ends give life to new beginnings, but death?
Now, death is merely overrated in its physical context,
Death after death after death is life's very text.
Mere philosophies! I tell u just mere philosophies!
Neither death nor life is at your convenience and ease-
When life is filled with everything beyond comprehension,
Its death should be its only prevention;
But while death in itself is an incomprehension-
Life just creates more confusion.
Questions raised are left unanswered,
While philosophies are revered-
About death in bone and flesh:
Now, why don't we start afresh?

Death Tunes

A hundred leaves of poesy may not save me from what I have earned,
And a hundred minutes may not help me when they have turned,
For here I am with inspiration filled-
But nobody to appreciate it or to be thrilled.

A hundred doors and a hundred opportunities,
All shut and buried deep under big cities,
Must it always be so true-
That second chances are so very very few?

A hundred lives and a hundred bones-
All victims to a stranger's verbal loans,
Shattered, all shattered in flesh and moans,
And goaded to silence in their living zones.

Hundreds and hundreds of living souls,
In whom emotions are but moles,
Death tunes guide these living souls-
Into darker and darker dismal holes.
