Life and Death or Life is Death?

By Afreen Irfana.H

Here I’m building a sand castle, 

Like everyone else around me.

Half way through, I realise that, 

the castle I had put so much effort on building is destined to crumble down to mere dust-

Just as it was before.

In the midst of death, there is life!

It is the irony of life that the only thing certain about it is death. Time is a slow poison as

we’re dying with each passing second.

Every human has three personalities,

The way we see ourselves 

The way others see us and, 

The way we actually are.

Out of the three only one is true. I think life is kind of like that. We might see life as different

things, give it colourful descriptions, write poetries about it. But the actual truth of life is only

one. 

May be death is not the opposite of life rather it is the truth of life. May be all along while we

thought we were living; we were just dying.
