DEATH OF A LIFE

From what I saw, this what I could make
Though the person I looked at was awake
The breath was weak and difficult to take
And I saw in real the life that was at stake

The pulses also were running really slow
And the blood pressure was also very low
As the heart beat seemed to be feeble too
The chances of recovery was almost few

The mouth was covered by oxygen mask
That was properly performing the task
From the veins the fluid was being sent
For the cure these measures were meant

This was in intensive care and ventilation
To save the life they made all preparation
Blood tested as blood group was matched
And then bottles of blood were attached

The blood was then injected and infused
Other medical technology also introduced
X-ray, Ultra Sound, MRI and the CT scan
They were trying to do the best they can

But then these measures just went in vain
As they totally failed to reduce the pain
The body also now just stopped to move
So all the equipments they had to remove

I saw a gathering of friends and relatives
Taking account of treatment initiatives
Their eyes were moist with emotions deep
As some did cry and the others did weep

To save the life they had tried every way
In front of God they bent down to pray
With folded hands they looked with hope
As from other ends there was no scope

There're many things you can’t control
You can protect the body, not the soul
For it would escape when it is destined
In the time and hours God has defined

And always remember in every breath
That in the end you have to face death
This’ll always be an unsolved mystery
As death is the climax of the life’s story
