Inevitable is the awaiting course of eternal sleep,
A destined acquaintance, realisation perform a leap,
Numb curiosity of written fate, disappointment displays a heap,
Blackened thought process, upon death we weap.
Lively loss, hope is tossed,
Question existence, intellect and reason at a Loss,
Wicked confusion, answers demanded, disbelief spread across,
Faith likened to the grip of blackened coal, arisen death at the greatest cost.
Ceased existence, grief we display,
Flashback in memory, desperation we portray,
God's plan of creation, life taken away,
And peers to grip faithfulness, not go astray.
Clasp the weak handshake amongst the final moment,
Urging for the grasp of human soul, Angel of Death God has sent,
Removed from the physical form, the angels gaze over the body creates a tent,
For the removal of the soul, and afterlife judgement is what is meant.
Conceal the body, white coverings of pure state,
The body endures earthly protocol, the soul awaits it's fate,
Conceal the vision he remained, remembrance titles him "late",
Time spent in submission, judgement by God the Great.
A rite of passage, death disposes all,
Non - discriminatory of status, wealth, to everyone similar is the call,
All that breathes, God will demand to fall,
And rise to be resurrected, none thus stand tall.
Religion becomes the epitome, reserved for the days last,
Regretful tears, wishing he could repent and revive his past,
Frightening future course of eternity, time ticking fast,
Final destination, his grave he is cast.
Pray to be upon those who are prepared for the meeting,
Live a life of righteousness, pleasant will be the greeting,
Those of the disbelieving, poisonous fruit forcefully he will be eating,
Let us use our time to devout to God, the devil we are defeating, and to Islam we are retreating.
