ONE DAY IT IS CERTAIN

One day, it is certain,
a near and dear one,
will cremate my body,
consign me to flames,
turning me to ash,
to be mingled
with Panchtatvas,
elements of nature;
One day, it is certain,
a near and dear one,
will bury me,
lay me to rest,
to disintegrate,
to be fodder for some,
to be merged,
with Mother Earth;
One day, it is certain,
the mightiest strongest,
will not have the strength,
to hold their own weight,
will have to be carried,
by near and dear ones,
to the final resting place;
One day, it is certain,
smartest, vilest,
the most cunning,
will not be able
hoodwink survival,
be able to wriggle out,
from clutches of destiny,
will be laid to rest,
by near and dear ones,
to rest in peace;
One day, it is certain,
our body, for which
we have given our life,
to inflate with ego,
to satisfy urge of lust,
to satiate thirst for more,
to breed greed, pamper needs,
to groom beautify self,
to build n break relations,
will lie motionless,
with no life to move,
when we die, Soul
the real me will rise,
body will fall lifeless,
to be immediately taken
by near and dear ones,
to be disposed of, before
it rots decays smells;
One day, we should realize,
for our own good,
body identifies material,
my physical self,
will be left behind,
indestructible eternal
Soul, the real me,
cannot be cremated,
consigned to flames,
turned to ashes,
buried to disintegrate,
to merge with nature,
be one with Mother Earth,
as soul is the essence of
the Omnipotent Omnipresent,
Ethereal Almighty One.
