Post-Mortem

My friend passed away last night
house filled with mourners & dim light.
Not of cancer, not of flu,
the reason? there's no clue!!

Was in the Army, served in the front
got a lot of medals, and was'nt a runt.
you might not agree with me, lucky was he,
his soul was around, to look at the funeral of his body!!

He was proud and happy of his social life,
but failed to care for his parents and wife.
all he was is Polo, Squash, friends and wine
his Mom and wife, longed for his presence at the dine

Today, mom weeps losing her son,
he wants to hold her and say i love you mom
he sees his wife fainted of shock
how he wished, his death was just a mock

polo mates didn't cry, nor did the mates of squash
buddies didn't turn up, who were at the last weekend bash
he realizes the mistake, when his coffin is decorated with silk,
its just a post-mortem, crying over spilled milk.

He got to see his last journey, which no one got
Was he really lucky, or was he not?
For him its a permanant good night,
because, as i told you, my friend passed away last night.


Every one loves their parents and wife. Many fail to express it. This is a humble request to all, to express how much you love your loved ones, how much you care for them and how important they are in your life and how vital they are in what you are today. Because only love is forever.
