Symbols

When we laugh
When we cry 
When we smile
When we're sad
When we're excited
When we mourn 
When we sorrow ,
The world becomes silent 

When we die
Our spirit goes to unknown land
Termites  host conference  on us
Maggots conventionally gathers
And we become dust and nothing, but dust. 

Death is the last phase that peel off our skin from the eyes of the sun and leave us lost in thin air- nonexistence.

Life is the only sorrow we have
It gives us no option but choices
It tears our memories and beings
We have different track to walk on
But the symbols of who are still stay when we leave the surface of this painful poetry  called life... 


Yours Poetically,
