The Obituary (Haiku)
The story behind the poem “The Obituary”
It is easy to say that man is mortal. However, it becomes
that much difficult to accept that saying as and when we come to face such a
consequence on our part. Likewise, I came to hear the heavy news of the sudden death
of my teacher one day. I cannot tell why even now I cannot accept that obituary. Yes, death is such a notion that turns all our efforts, all our feuds etc.
fatuous in the wink of an eye. Everything seems nothing but a pure mundane
mockery indeed. Death proves this fact to the utmost. We clamour saying “It’s
mine”, but all such fights become fruitless and meaningless in the terrible
jaws of death. The claws of death snatch away our all in a blink. We have to stay
prepared, therefore, always that the call may come any day to us. Without shouting
and screaming for false matters, we should, hence, try to stay inclined to the
actual matter of love and peace in our lives.

Turns
my sea to commotion;
A
great storm at hand!
