The Negative Side of Life

All that we carry with us is just
A heap of disguised ashes & dust...
Life is a bubble of uncertainty...
Varying flickers of sense & insanity...!

Trickles of human existence...
Hurrying in the ambulance,
Depict the phase of despair..
When acute anguish hangs in the air...!

Disease & injuries remind us well
That life,sometimes,is worse than Hell;
Specks of blood & tears speak eloquently...
The pathetic plight of life's tragedy !

Moments of laughter come & pass
Like morning dew on the body of grass...
Painful episodes occur every now & then,
Testing our mettle & acumen !

All feats & glories dissolve with Time...
Consumed by Death's powerful enzyme...
Behind the seemingly jovial joyride...
Life hides this nightmarish negative side....!
