Last Thirty Minutes Of My Life
8th place

Premiere Contest by Anthony Biaanco.

               Last bell is ringing , now to leave.
                Long life I had to live.
                So, got ample time to explore life ,
                yet failed to fulfill my all ambitions 
                 or to finish all works which I have decided to continue.

                 But neither I lament or repent at this moment.
                  I tried all my best struggling all along alone,
                  confronting adverse situations, 
                  always accepting life as a challenge.
                    Enjoyed my life, completed duties,
                   met every phase to lead a quality life.

                   I am clean to myself and never did any wrong 
                    to others, yet I faced ingratitude to bear
                    and had to tackle many malice and injustice.
                     But reaching last stage, I’m to realise
                      all my achievements have turned obsolete.
                      Ruthless time is busy to delete.
                      Even , whichever love and care I had given
                      was not reciprocated.

                   Now thirty nine minutes are left to face death.
                      I'm ready to breathe my last breath 
                       leaving all my complaints behind,
                        so far cherished in my mind.
                      
                        To accept my life so favourite and important 
                          was absolute stupidity. 
                          Adieu !
                     
                      Prepared to enter unknown zone of ‘After Life ‘ !
                        Immortality of soul is a wishful perception:
                        No living being wants permanent extinction.
                         No way, but to surrender on Nature’s discretion.
