Analysis of Life & Death
Death is frightened by
What Life is capable of.
Acceptance is what
Death wants from Life.
Death wants so much
To be involved with Life but
Is always excluded.
Death is powerful
In its ability to end Life.
Death is iealous
Of everything Life possesses.
Acceptance is what
Death wants from Life.
Death is sad
And takes all happiness away.
Death is afraid,
While Life is sitting comfortable.
Death starts working
When Life grows tired and old.
Death is iealous
Of everything Life possesses.
Death takes from Life
What it so desires.
Death is always waiting
But Life goes on.
