Be Prepared for Death

Be Prepared for Death

How can you still ...?

Spend your whole day time slouching around doing nothing

Spend 4 straight hours at your video games

And jerks 4-5 times a day...

Oh... that's normal, the youngsters say.

But death cares not you're old or young.

You may be alive now,

Next blink of an eye, you're gone.

You can't say - 

"O - wait, I have unfinished business".

The hell it cares!

When karma ripens, there is no escape!

Life is impermanent. 

How ready are you for the journey to the hereafter?

Here's an advice to the young - 

Prepare for death right from a young age!

Study the Dharma!

Practice the Dharma!

Share the Dharma!

I wrote the above verses after coming across and reading some postings in social media forums that during these lockdown period, youths are lazying around at home, they spend a lot of their time playing video games, watching social media channels, movies, and even one boy says he masturbates more often now. While it is common for boys to do so, my thoughts were that they must try to spend more time in dharma study.
