I shall raise <br />The cup of wine <br />A toast to life <br />My last breath <br />Nothing but anguish <br />Whence my entry <br />Was not my choice <br />So shall be my exit <br />My soul would fly <br />I shall be eternal <br />As love <br />As beauty <br /> <br />Take me my wings <br />To unknown distance <br />Socrates did scorn Creto <br />For the unwise question <br />That what ceremonies would <br />The master like <br />Once the hemlock did take effect <br />In the blood <br /> <br />Nothing I shall do <br />Nether can I <br />But depart in peace <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />Dec 22,2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-death-4/
