In the Image of Dust To Dust, Kipling Tribute Poem
In The Image Of Dust To Dust,
Kipling tribute poem
In the image of dust to dust
rests the dark mankind fears
yet in its horrors, face we must
loss, decay- buckets of our tears
as crestfallen as such may be
in life- love may joy bring
rich fruits of its majestic seas
sweet music lovers sing
dare we such dear treasures deny
because of morbid fate
are we not brave to ask the why
before it is too late
although time often our sight blinds
does not heart truly see
such dark-thinking serves to remind
soul rests in you and me
therein shall we contemplate more
meaning of dust to dust
we that so seek paradise shores
have thus mislaid our trust
pity- weakness of flesh and blood
how selfishly we think
whilst we often bath in the mud
'til of its stench we stink
in the image of dust to dust
rests the dark mankind fears
yet in its horrors, face we must
loss, decay- buckets of our tears.

Rhyme,
( A Look Into The Soul And Humanity's Follies, Fallacies And Blindness)
Kipling tribute poem for blog.
Note:
Sorry, that this was not originally included in the Kipling blog
as it was first posted. And that because of my having been ill-
it has taken me so long to rewrite four times - then edit,
re-edit-and finish it. As of now, I have abandoned the other
third Kipling tribute poem entirely. As this took so much out
of me just to finish this one.
Note:
I already had another tribute blog started. But seems that too
will be much delayed. As my health issues at the moment
are so greatly interfering with my writings. As such is life, I
must endeavor to cut back a bit more and hope to re-energize
my writing-soul. God bless…
