There Left Uncertain Time
Of course there is time and no need to hurry
For young men whose hands are strong
And hearts do nothing wrong.
But Death is an inherited burden
Our strong shoulders cannot carry.
we meet death in strange streets
and sometimes it nods away
but in some other, it leads our way.
I hate not death more
But still not love life less.
I fear not its coming
But do not fancy it’s never coming at all.
And if you say with critic’s eye
That I subconsciously want never to die
I must reply with utmost care
‘yes, indeed sir, not while I’m young’.
