Everything dies , eventually

 Curd is hung and has dripped whey 

the half dry bedsheets in breeze sway 

there are dying flowers in the tray 

a hungry mynah pokes soil for prey 


there is a solid reason 

why today there is no sun 

no it is not climate change

neither is it your puny phalange


In fact open up your palms and see 

there is nothing there to free 

you have owned precisely zero 

and you think you are a hero 


Not because you are so great 

(you know you are not )

But because your mom told you so 

every night your tears lied to your pillow 


Everything dies , you know that , right ?

your deeds , your home , even your fights 

Righteous , mighty perilous forays 

Altruisms , battles , stoic days
