SEVEN WAYS TO DIE

SEVEN WAYS TO DIE

A Poem by DBURKE

You could die in the cold

Alone and afraid

You could wait til it comes

Like a midnight raid

 

You could die unexpectedly

Wait for it…pause

You can think about it daily

Until you meet the cause

 

You could die by your own hands

Passion in your style

An exit to be remembered

That you planned for a while

 

You could die naturally

Fading out as time naturally flows

Hopefully in your sleep

When nobody knows

 

You could die daily

Never living a day

Smothered in problems

Wasting away

 

You could die gracefully

Not dramatic making a scene

So that people can reflect

On what their lives mean

 

Last way to die

Die in hell is number seven

Or live to live

And end up living in Heaven

you could die in the rain
in front of a train
or just plain old pain
or maybe a strain
or fall down a drain

we all die of something or other, it's true
but it's life we are living (and writing poems too)
I'm glad you wrote this one, it saved me the time
'cuz I got to tell you, I'm fresh out of rhyme
so Heaven or Hell, the choice is made now
'cuz to the choice maker, we all have to bow...

"You could die daily
Never living a day

These are words of wisdom. Moreover, I enjoyed how you took a dark subject like death and then gave the choice at the end. This is uplifting to me!
