Death: Friend of Foe?A Poem by Rosi S. PhillipsAs I listen to a story from The Bible The question seeps into my head Death is the last fight? Our greatest enemy? Is he?
I had thought Death a long time friend Since conception he has always been with me
Death is release from the pain and hardship of living Death is a purple heart in the war An honorable discharge
Is life not the real enemy Is birth not the battle Disease, rape, pain, and hardship Those come with life You fight a battle everyday for survival You can't fight Death Death Is inevitable
Perhaps I have grown to romanticize my death Thinking of my ending as a friend or lover come to bid me good night
Fear is misplaced in this world We are born to populate Live, breed, and die I don't fear death I fear life
