Decent farewell

 

Tuesday,5th June 2018

 

Why is burial must?

if you believe in tradition and trust

why are the religion rituals aim at decent farewell?

is the soul going to witness the final journey?

 

whatever he or she did during the lifespan

as bad or good human being

the people may be knowing about it

yet they shall join the funeral procession

 

the ill feeling disappears

and unknown fear grips

the mind and body about final fate

the person thinks seriously about

 

yes, life is such tragic event

and people present

full respect for the departed soul

and treat the dead body well

 

whatever we did in the past

that doesn't last long

the burial is given in a befitting manner

no one utter bad words later

Good Morning Hasmukh,

I enjoyed this poem as it highlights the fact that a funeral is more for the living than the one who is departed. It is the final rite of passage and those who are left have confused feelings ranging from regret, remorse, one´own mortality and the need for some latent form of reconciliation.
Thank you for this
Keith
