A poem on Life and Death

I have shared my perspective of Life through this poem. I am eager to hear from my readers what they think of it. All opinions and discussions are welcome.

I am you and you are me

As thin as air, you can never see

Your entity is at risk, cause I am alive

Yet if you kill me, you can't survive 

When the time comes, let me go

To meet my fate and my foe

Void is your love and senseless your care 

Your paper is worthless like you in the fare 

Constrained by time ,limited I am

Yet you save , worry ,and cry in pain

You love me the most, only selfishly 

Put me above all your joy preciously 

Yet i will betray you one day

What you save will burn one day                               

You wouldn't be at your funeral feast

People may cry for you at least

Matters not whom did you love or hate

You are bound to submit, to your ultimate fate

You may search for meaning in life

Abuse, go to war, and die in strife

I wouldn't tell you the time of my arrival

Don't take life as a game of survival.

You won't rejoice the biggest event of life

Unprepared you will go with the immortal wife

Leaving the burden of earth and its dwelling

The soul of memories in the memory sailing.

What you create, let other remember

Nothing is for you, you must surrender 

The respect you earned ,the fame you gained.

May leave their mark in the time of sand.

But soon the ego "I", would melt like Ice.

Evaporate never to be seen by eyes.

The rich, the poor, politicians and all.

Become ash or fossils buried in the soil.

Why chase empty dreams and desires then?

When I won't be left behind to rein.

But must you do what is to be done.

Live detached, life is not a race to run.

But if you do, how far can you reach?

Only to submit to my sermon I preach.
