Theme: Duel

Duo

What a coincidence!
Today
Dara Singh
Died and today
Was my children’s
Sports Day!

Reminds me
Once again
That sports
Would go on
So would life

And these stalwarts
Who are well-renowned
Wrestlers can win every
Championship in life,
And remain defending
Champions for life….
But when it comes to
Grappling with death
They simply don’t
Stand a chance….

Once again a
Stark reminder
That man has a
Long way to go
When it comes to
Wrestling with death
And winning the ultimate
Trophy in the final duel
With the unrelenting duo
- Senility and Mortality -
