Has it happened to you? <br />When you felt you were, <br />So close to being eliminated <br />From the existence forever. <br /> <br />When we sit and think <br />Think about all the incidents, <br />When we have had close shave <br />With having fatal accidents. <br /> <br />There are so many of them <br />Which we tend to easily forget, <br />And do the same mistakes again <br />Though not always with intent. <br /> <br />We forget about these things <br />Because nothing has changed, <br />Saved many times by the split second <br />On which life and death was gauged. <br /> <br />Life is so fragile and delicate <br />Extinction is always at arms length, <br />We live a life of uncertainty <br />We are hair’s breadth from death. <br /> <br />CR VGA <br />Rdnr 26/7/06<br /><br />Vikram G.
