Die and Rest
By: Andrea Myinga
One day, we shall all die but that
Will be the end for some and for
Others the beginning of restful rets
This world is too big to be understood
Within short length of lifetime, with
Chains of surprises around our necks
Many journeys we have started
Focused but that hasn’t been a guarantee
To see the glory of our dreams
Bleedings from broken friendships
Has given us strength to wipe sweats
Of standing with two legs
Do not wait until it is too late
To decide to be your true self, never
Made loneliness an option to trust
When we shall die there will be no more
Hurts from those who see denying us
Publicly, as the happiest way out
Those ties of being born together,
From the same womb, has not been
Enough to make us feel good for each
Other, to look after one another
It is high time to name it among
The wonders of humanity, people aren’t
Seeing each other under the broad daylight
But seem to care when one is breathless
Nothing can brighten that face in a casket
To look like a sunflower, open and beauty
Anyone who wants to feel the warmth
Of the earth, has to have an open heart
For people to come and go freely
And when time come, we also shall go
But let it be in piece, for the sake of
That R.I.P scribed on top of the tomb.
