Death (Poem)

I got a boon of eternity

Cheers,bravo was all I could see
I was elated,ecstatic and euphoric
Now that ages,centuries and eras have passed
I am questioning my own past

I fantasize death day and night
The serenity, the stillness that it provides
In this world of constant dynamism
Commotion,chaos all around
Death seems so peaceful

The life that I am living here
With a race that leads you no where
With war and bloodshed and crisis
With forced identity and lost humanity
It's ironic they find death worst

It might be greener after death
With ocean of nectar and fresh breath
The sky higher, the sun brighter
No hierarchy,no segregation
The mankind hand in hand dancing together

Death gives what life could never do
Tranquility,poise comes with it too
I dream of death all the time
Death makes life meaningful
I wonder how eternity is a blessing
It's a punishment at it's prime

I feel caged, I want to be emancipated
I want to break free from this bane
They say charity leads you to heaven
Life now has become hell
I want to go back to my past
It's peaceful death that I would rather demand.
