Book Poem #1 Poem #2
Poem #1“If I Could Live Forever”
By Dolly Bhaskaran
Poem #2“If We Could Live Forever”
By Andrew Blakemore
If I could live forever,It will be a lonely life,I may not be able to see or hear,All my teeth will be replaced,I may not be able to walk,I will be dumped in one room.
I will be watching my familyAnd friends will grow older,My grandchildren will growAnd become young adults.The things in my house will beReplaced with all new things.
I may even find my true love,Then soon, he may die too.Initially, it will be fun to live forever,Then it becomes boring,There will not be any oneTo talk to you becauseAll of them will die before you.
I may watch the world developing,I may become accustomedWith the suffering I see in the world,Or I may see the compassion to thePoor or those who in need orI may see the selfish and greedy ones.
I may see the world will be united,With love, peace and joy under one divine,All the people in the world live in harmony.
It is the right time to think do you reallyWant to live forever?
If we could live foreverHow much wiser would we be?Would we have grown accustomedTo the suffering we see?And would the world be of one mindUnited then in love?Would we be non believersOr have faith in God above?
Would people still be starvingOn that scorched and barren plain?Would they still be forgottenWaiting for the season's rain?Or would we show compassionTo the poor and those in need?Or learn to look the other wayTo fuel our selfish greed?
Would we have learned to live in peaceOr learned to count the cost?Of all the maimed and woundedAnd of those whose lives were lost?In life we only get one chanceTo do the things we should,So if your life is long or shortJust try to do some good.
