A Discourse- Death, Existence and Forever Life

My take on Death and Living

Plan

So what if
I don't want to die?
Existence as we know of
Is utter, complete, so satisfied.
I have a solution
Bring your ears close by
Let me whisper.

Discourse - I

I love to live
I never want to die
People who believe in god
Can live their lives
On promised Heavens for which they strive
Or Hell if they utterly fail but still survive
I don't believe in God
I have no rationale
To believe in the Lord
And to top it all,
Science infected my brain
To make me think
Death, the complete darkness
Death, the supreme consciousness
Before the utter end
Death, the Non-existence.

Lines to read when I'm not there - I

"I write this poem
For you to read
To remember a soul
Which wanted to live
Always and forever
Enjoy the spring and breathe the air
Write, Eat and Make love
Learn, Drink and Inspire"

Discourse - II

The ruthless told me
There's nothing to live
For Death brings meaning
To the Life we live.
Without Death, Time will stop
There won't be anything and that will be all
I tell them with utmost grace
I still want to live at a snail's pace.

Lines to read when I'm not there - II

"Even if I'm not there
Even if I'm just a few lines
Some old memories
And a photo in a dilapidated frame
These lines will remain
And I will live through these lines
Read them to your sons and friends
And tell them - The Man who didn't want to die"

Execution

I know I am ninety
I am really ill
My time has come
I will be free
I have a plan
I conceived when I was a child
Please execute it
Before I die.

Find a patient
A life which still lives
But the brain has died.
Operate and take my brain
In its entirety and fill his crane.
As he will open his eyes
I will live again and I won't die.

He will think like me
He has all my memories
He will find a changed body
But a life so full
And the best part is
I will give his lifeless body
A whole new life
But it will be not be him
Who lives with my brain
It is me who will take the reign.
(Laughs silently with a forever expression)

Actually I think the title fits very well! What a profound write on the essence of life and death. A common saying on headstones in New England was (back 100-200 years ago) As you are now, so once was I; as I am now, one day you'll be. Morbid yes...but truth...we are all worms food. Great write!

[Ice QueenJen]

oh wow how i wish i'd read this a long time ago, but the words and sentiment have lived on in this writing as you have stated. I really like how you talked about giving your brain to someone else, and it would be you that lives on not him. Excellent poem!

[Priyankaabhilaashi]

Title can be --'Life--a betrayal and passion..!!'

You may not like the title..but i felt even this can suit the temperate of the above said lines..!!!

Good Work..!!!

[dukovan]

you made a something out of me, and its nuts.

[Kimberly]

This is really very good. I can't think of another title. I like this one. I think it covers it. I'm not very good at titles anyway.

[Victoria Kay]

Very powerful. Covered every possible viewpoint. Loved it. It spoke to me.

[Richard Williams]

A remarkable poetic discourse, a fine read.

[trainwreck]

Wonderfully written. So sad and hopeless, but pretty as always.

[underwriter]

deep, dark and honest. very good write, and it flows nicely! well done.

[Ruth]

And I think you have just about covered it lol
WOW! This is unique love, you have managed to look at all levels of death, and that makes this perfect. Too many people see the subject taboo and cannot go there, or are too frightened, not excluding myself! lol

I think this is one of the most most poignant pieces of work I have read in a while!

Excellent, a title, if I am honest, I love what you have!
