Living Eternally
Snakes hissing,
Sharks gaping their mouths,
Lions roaring
And slave-owners setting their traps
To catch-
Where will you flee?
Your life is not safe into caves,
Your life is not safe in waters,
Your life is not safe in forests
And your life is not safe in society.
O man, where will you go then?
Will you die without fighting?
Man is born to die;
But dying for making the better earth
Is not called dying.
It is called living,
Living eternally.
