The Demise of Here-After

Familiar yet strange Similar through the cycles of change, So evil are these beings of Humans Born to kill and kill to be avenged. Beneath the ruins of all morals Death feast the humans of race, See the downfall of the once beloved ones Witness the sordid display of disgrace. Blindingly chasing after riches Power, vice and lust, If only they knew All is but grave dust. Lost and alone, so far gone, All consumed by conceit and desire, Long before the Day of Judgment It seems all shall burn in the wraths of fire. (C) Obaidur Rahman. Published in the poet’s debut book of English poetry titled “The Mystic Inferno” in 2012.
