Pathetic Death

Pathetic Death

A Poem by C.A. Lucas

Haha
Death.
Yes, I just laughed at the word death
We all should
Death is mediocre
Pathetic
Death is naive
It thinks it is so great
When it is hardly a big deal
It thinks it is a dark sky of lost spirits
But it is only a hopeful light.
Death will never amount to what we can be.
We are more than physical
We are more than bodies
We have emotions, and souls
Death can't touch our souls
It only releases them from their cases.
Death takes itself so seriously
Some humans do, too
It gives us an image
The thing that frightens us the most
But honestly
Frankly
Truthfully
Death is not a skeleton
Or a skull
Death is not a black veil
Death is not an endless hole
Death is not a seductive woman
Death is not a murderous man
Death is not a jackolantern
Death is not a monstrous creature

Death is merely
A greater step
Than any us humans will ever take

Thank you for your time.

Jeez. Hard to believe your age considering how well you pulled this off. Your cavalier attitude towards death is conveyed very well by your choice of words and where you stopped your lines. Keep it up.
