What If Death Is Dead

WHAT IF DEATH IS DEAD?
What If he is gone?
far away with his gun
to rest forever in his dome
though hell as a home

What shall become of us?
hastily I ask thus
if sucker of our souls is dead
lest we live in great dread

What of his forerunner?
old age sitting in a corner
that shall tremor us tremendously
never again we stand sedulously

Who shall put a death blow?
when old ages glow
leave us not at this juncture
save our future from torture

Up and Below the Coast

The area is as warm as a hill top, up and above the coast
            An excellence that has made a feeble lion to boast
                  Fishes of an ocean befriend their own beast
                       Cheerfully in unison, we see them feast
                              It is...mutual and placid up there
                                   All that very seems to care
                                           Is as pure as dove 
                                                   All above

                                                    Beneath
                                           Allurements beath
                                   The south part of the scene  
                               Every bit of it...weary and unclean
                        Uneven coast of inducement kept faraway
                  The rough-south side that orders the prey to pray
             A root of all evil clothed in the domain of devil's bedside
       An immersed part of the ocean that makes a weak lion decide

Nothing But a Kite

up 
                            we all strive 
                       to so be in the hive 
                   but on that lovely hill top 
              yes, the only one you luckily are 
          ill mocking everyone of us from afar              
       our hopeful eyes you trample with laugh
   our food you left us half of the half of its half 
        but your heavy head has likely forgotten 
            or locked up in a pride with a button 
                you are nothing but a paper kite 
                     soared to a greater height 
                         behold from any time 
                                can be blown 
                                       down
