[image: Bye_Gravestone] Life frightens me often Death does not. Dead men do not frighten me I am ready to join any crowd Every second night I celebrate with the dead Playing cards and singing songs Discussing about life that doesn’t matter Waking up is a curse. And life frightens me Death does not. Silence in life frightens me Streets filled with walking corpses In the prisons of their own minds Sealed lips of the teachers Knowledge not to be known Feelings that are not felt The smell of death on the living The sound of breath of the dead Vultures around the living Cooking food on the funeral pyre Life frightens me But death does not. And I am frightened About the pretentious dead breathing But death does not frighten me Silence in the graves frighten me The graves do not frighten me Life does. And when the dead bodies do not wake up I keep telling myself That it is safer to get drunk On the silence of the graves. *K.P. Sasi* is a film maker and political activist.
