Shaving the heads the barber he belongs to the same faith <br />For him it’s some money he celebrates each death <br />Celebrates each death the barber he earns from obvious fate <br />Shaving the dead’s loved ones will earn him at any rate! <br /> <br />The barber isn’t afraid of death for he has watched bereaved guys <br />Heard too many wails in life death doesn’t surprise <br />He goes through emotionless motions knifes clean their head <br />The more he bares the heads the more he earns his bread! <br /> <br />They bow their heads before him he blows their hairs away <br />In the aftermath of death it’s always him that holds sway <br />His eyes glisten in death’s joy before death he’s not craven <br />His work is justly finished when each head is cleanly shaven! <br /> <br />They mourn the departed ones shed grief’s copious tears <br />The barber remains unfazed perhaps chuckles in furtive cheers <br />A death in someone’s family a great loss for years to harbor <br />But for him a cause to celebrate fears not death the barber!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/celebrating-death-2/
