Goodbye to this world which gave my form <br />As human being and not a worm! <br />Goodbye to this world with plants so green; <br />I’m happy with whatev’r, I had seen; <br />Goodbye to the air, water and soil; <br />They are polluted, despite my toil; <br />Goodbye to the joys, sorrows and pain; <br />I’m glad they can’t trouble me again; <br />Goodbye to the pangs of hunger, sex, <br />And problems that can all earthlings vex; <br />Goodbye to the earthly love, greed, hate, <br />And emotions that never abate; <br />Goodbye to affluence, pelf, chaos; <br />Births, deaths, wars, crimes, suffering and loss; <br />Goodbye to good deeds, vices and sin; <br />To friends and foes, strangers, kith and kin; <br />Goodbye to the sun and moon and stars- <br />Which never bear ill-will or cause wars; <br />Goodbye to the beasts and birds that fly; <br />The Milky Way and cloudy, blue sky; <br />Goodbye to the world of scams and fraud; <br />I’m glad I found my one, living God; <br />Goodbye to my fears, desires all; <br />I’m lucky to heed my Maker’s call; <br />Goodbye to the nice earth which God made; <br />Man spoilt it doing what, God forbade!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goodbye-to-this-world/
