it’s all so funny <br />even as my friends and relatives <br />and close ones sit weeping or stand with somber faces; <br />if I knew all I know now <br />as I am - cold, dead, finis, <br />I wouldn’t have done the things I did alive: <br />and what is it I know, now dead? <br />It’s for you to find out, mate… <br />go on and leave me in dead peace, <br />do your own work, your own living and dying… <br />I can only tell you just this, <br />it’s all so funny really…<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dead-man-talking/
