P.K. Deb- A Poem

Life and death

Adding something useful to the useless,

isolating something hazardous from the useful,

innovating something gainful with the hazardous,

planning something constructive from the gain,

and implementing something planned efficiently

are ought to be recognized as LIFE.

Perceiving everything peaceful succeeding storm and stress,

feeling everything comfortable in pervading peace,

realizing everything stationary in all round comfort,

admitting everything as concluded with entire satisfaction

and embracing everything sleepy with a smile for ever

are ought to be realized as DEATH.
