Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Choka

Death Any Time

Death is life's greatest
Mystery! Not God, not soul,
Neither the heaven nor hell,
Or laws of nature;
The absolute, certain truth --
You are bound to end up dead!

Andrea Dietrich September 27, 2014 at 9:47 PM I don't know about that. DEath is certain, but where we are going is not certain. That for me is the greater mystery! Love the ending. So true so true.

Paul Callus September 27, 2014 at 8:08 AM Very interesting write, Abdul. Death can arrive any time...but those who understand God and what he stands for know that death is only temporary....life will follow. Congrats on your win. // paul Abdul Malik Mandani September 27, 2014 at 9:59 AM Ha, If someone can make me understand God! Then, I'll follow death to life...or, is it the other way around? Thanks for your comments.
