listening to e sound & emptying my mind...
roaming e void... not knowing wad ii will find...
ii have opened my eyes & took off e blindfold...
witnessing e true world dat is dark and cold....

e things dat tear us apart are wealth, fame & status...
living in a world of greed... dey are hiding behind a mask...
backstabbing each other without a doubt...stabbing others in e heart...

ii loath dem...
uncontrolled emotions... unknowing blind...
ii will learn this... humanity kind...

Death is certain, but the time of death is uncertain...

There is no possible way to escape death. No one ever has, not even Jesus, Buddha, etc. Of the current world population of over 5 billion people, almost none will be alive in 100 years time.

Life has a definite, inflexible limit and each moment brings us closer to the finality of this life.

Do you know we are dying from the moment we are born??
Death comes in a moment and its time is unexpected. All that separates us from the next life is one breath.

Do you also know that the only thing that can help us at the time of death is our mental/spritual development??
Because all that goes on to the next life is our mind with its karmic (positive or negative) imprints.

Worldly possessions such as wealth, position, money can't help.
Relatives and friends can neither prevent death nor go with us.
Even our own precious body is of no help to us. We have to leave it behind like a shell, an empty husk, an overcoat.

We have to cultivate positive mental qualities and abandon disturbing mental qualities...
We have to ripen our inner potential purely, without staining our efforts with attachment to worldly concerns.

All these may sound like preaching.. but well.. it's really up to individual as each have their own beliefs...
