Ephemerality

'lasting for a very short time': You went to a college, graduated in flying colours. Was drunk with the vapour of distinction In the higher level's age. Knowledge was your cage. Even you obtained certificates. But death pursued your breath: Bethroted to Ephemeral. Groomed by the best clown, elating glottis,scolding eyes. Gone to river of rivers to fetch. Caught sharks,whales and leviathan. But health got you tied: Bethroted of ephemeral. 1)Education is ephemeral(though proving he's a sage.) Profession and his wife are ephemeral(though boasting around wealth). Sickness is ephemeral(though often scaring away health.) All strive to stay, But they would not stay. Drown in the dread of unseen phenonmenons. Ephemerality is not all those things up there: It's you: Even you that doesn't know who you're, You that gets intimidated easily, For you'll last but for a very short time. "Life will not give you what's right,if you're mute." EPHEMERALITY! 17:1:12:14:17 Written in the Honour of my dear friend: Robert M Smith
