Poem
We always eulogize a child on his birth We also eulogize a person on his death On both occasions he is unable to appreciate the praise At birth he is unable to understand the words At death his ears are unresponsive to the sound Why do we always say good things on these occasions? Must we confine our eulogy only to these occasions? A child doesn’t understand our words at the time of his birth So it doesn’t matter whatever our words may sound The logic isn’t the same for a person on his death We have an innate fear that his spirit is hearing our words We wish to impress the spirit by using words of praise Why should we impress the spirit with words of praise? There is a belief that the spirit will leave after such occasions Some believe that the spirits are not influenced by words Our fate after death depends on all our deeds after birth All good deeds will be rewarded by the Creator after death Fate is not decided on words irrespective of how it may sound It is impossible to infer true feelings from how the words sound We often pretend to please others by telling words of praise These pretensions are useless when hearing ability ceases on death But may be fruitful when spoken to others on different occasions It is ineffective when the sense of hearing is undeveloped at birth The generation of feelings depends upon how we express the words Human relations depend on how we express our feelings in words. Expressions, conveying different feelings, are said in a varying sound The effectiveness is lost when conveyed to a child at birth Damaged human relations can be repaired through words of praise The appropriate expressions must be chosen to suit the occasion Feelings and expressions must amalgamate in the occasion of death One of the most solemn occasions in life is that of death While expressing feelings we carefully select the words The choice of words matches the vibes of the occasions The speeches are characterized by a particular sound On such occasions we forget our true feelings and praise Ebullient feelings are aroused on the occasion of birth The strength of a relationship is expressed by the identity of the sound The effectiveness of the expressions rest on the choice of words Alas! The only expressions a child has are cries at birth
