Sangha Death Poem
father death blues
Hey Father Death, I'm flying home
Hey poor man, you're all alone
Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going

Father Death, Don't cry any more
Mama's there, underneath the floor
Brother Death, please mind the store

Old Aunty Death Don't hide your bones
Old Uncle Death I hear your groans
O Sister Death how sweet your moans

O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths
Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths
Pain is gone, tears take the rest

Genius Death your art is done
Lover Death your body's gone
Father Death I'm coming home

Guru Death your words are true
Teacher Death I do thank you
For inspiring me to sing this Blues

Buddha Death, I wake with you
Dharma Death, your mind is new
Sangha Death, we'll work it through

You lack half wit. You crush all the particles down into close conformity, and then walk back and forth on them.

Sparkling chips of rock are crushed down to the level of the parent block.
Were not 'impersonal judment in aesthetic matters, a metaphysical impossibility,' you

might fairly achieve it. As for butterflies, I can hardly conceive of one's attending upon you, but to question the congruence of the complement is vain, if it exists.

    In the poem "Song of Myself," by Walt Whitman, the author argues how death is entitled to every single one of us, and how with something as cruel and unforgiving as death, comes life. Whitman claims that grass doesn't segregate or discriminate, it grows among us all, "Growing among black folks as among whites." This conveys how something such as grass should bring us together, that everyone breathe the same air, live in the same planet, that essentially, everyone is the same. As a result, everyone should live together in peace without insignificant and tiny problems such as racism and class ruining the immense and wonderful beauty of life. It is important to realize that this text shows the nonsense of the things humans do, and how they take…

    In America, there is a judicial system that helps justice prevail, to punish criminals, and let the innocent walk. The judicial system allows for there to be a trial where evidence is presented. Through the evidence presented, the jury then decides if the person on trial is innocent or guilty. Never in any trial, in any courthouse, under any judge would it be allowed for a murder to be justified so that one could restore a relative’s honor. However, this is not true in the location of Chronicle of a Death Foretold, as the Vicario twins were found innocent due to “legitimate case of honor, which was by the court upheld in good faith” (Marquez 48). The reason that this honor is upheld is because the Vicario twins live in a different culture. The story Chronicle of a Death Foretold allows a reader to look in on a different society and compare and contrast the cultures. There are many cultural related themes that are developed throughout the story. Some of the themes are stronger than others. These themes help show the book’s character and flavor. The goal of this paper is to thoroughly investigate various cultural aspects of Marquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold.…

    Death in Dickinsons Poetry

    • 1663 Words
    • 7 Pages

    'Death, the ultimate experience, is for Dickinson the supreme touchstone. It reveals the ultimate truth or reality; it makes clear the true nature of God and the state of the soul. She held the common Puritan belief that the way a person died indicated the state of his/her soul, a peaceful death being a sign of grace and harmony with God. ‘ By reading Emily Dickinson’s poems, such as: ‘I heard a fly buzz when I died’, ‘Because I could not stop for Death’, ‘I died for beauty, but was scarce’, ‘I never lost as much but twice’, we can see that ‘death’ is a topic she occasionally uses. We can say that her poems actually manifest her obsession with death and immortality, and how the loss of the desire to live causes death. She offers a creative and different perspective on the death and its effects on others, but also writing poetry about death was her way to cope with the loss of her beloved ones since she lost her mother, father, great number of friends and her nephew, and all that death around her affected her mind deeply. We also might presume that she had the great desire to explore the mystery of death and of the afterlife. In a poem ‘I heard a fly buzz when I died’ death ‘is painless, yet the vision of death it presents is horrifying, even gruesome.’ In this poem she deliberately left the process of dying blank, we are not sure how the narrator dies. It was probably intentional since Dickinson believed that the way a person died showed the state of his/her soul. But still the process is peaceful, maybe telling us that death is something we all should embrace even though it is scary and daunting. Every human being will die, the end is the same for all us, and she encourages us to embrace ourselves, to make peace with the end that awaits us, to make peace with God. Death is peaceful because there is an afterlife; a somewhat better life awaits us. This poem can be set apart from her other dark themed poems because of its strange comparison to a fly and its positive…

    The poem “Constantly Risking Absurdity” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a poem where he compares a poem to an acrobat.He starts off by describing how an acrobat risks everything even his life to his audience by walking in a high wire of his own making.What Ferlinghetti means is that an acrobat does everything he can including his most precious values mental and physical to entertain and amaze his audience. He doesn`t care if he makes a fool of himself o even kill himself for his audience. This is similar to a poet because poets also take risk all the time.A poets first starts taking risks when he reveals a poem to his audience. He doesn`t know how the audience will respond, he doesnt know weather they will like it or not. They won`t even know if it will be understood by their audience or not. Just like an acrobat the poet will put his heart and soul into his creation and will never know the result before presenting it to the public.…

    The poem "The Ecstasy" is one of John Donne's most popular poems, which expresses his unique and unconventional ideas about love. It expounds the theme that pure, spiritual or real love can exist only in the bond of souls established by the bodies. For Donne, true love only exists when both bodies and souls are inextricably united. Donne criticizes the platonic lover who excludes the body and emphasizes the soul.…
