THE MORTAL LINKS : SONNET 101

Whoever knows not that they all came

And with passing of time they all went

With their acts, with their disrepute or fame

Leaving all things they by their names meant?

Mahatma came with torch of peace and freedom

And pass'd away with the egress of time;

Had come Genghiz with dreadful deaths and mayhem

And perish'd into grave with cruel regime:

Come the good and come the bad in turn

In times conveyer course that carries all

And throws them off when out they run

Of their breath, their body, their relay and role.

Goes on life on earth with ours living and dying

Each being a mortal link of curse or blessing.
