THE BLOW

• More than 100 killed in Nigeria plane crash

*********************
when ever I view
web pages of news items
death alone greets THE eyes
whether man made or machine made OR God delivered

At some odd hours
only hair breadth’s space
remain between life and death
winner -----if death tops the list
on the news flashed and made updated

You may term ultimately keeping mind in words duel
And may affirm the incident as cruel
But it is the news house’s fuel
and draws our sympathies in terms real


Let the fortune make it so
All men are UNDOUBTEDLY mortal and flow
to the other ends and award OUR SOULS a blow
Let in all senses humanity alone must glow.
