Life and DeathA Poem by Sandra Caskey
What we do and what we are
Is something so sharp it can leave a scar. However, we are constructed this way, And you’re life isn’t freely given away. You can either accept our secrets With all our false or true reasons. You can listen to us clearly Or forget about us quickly. Do whatever you please But be willing to seize The very things you refuse to lose. Heed our warning: you can’t refuse That nothing is permanent. So, you have to focus on what is current. Playing with the past is running with scissors, Someone’s bound to get hurt, just look in these mirrors. What we do and what we are Is something so sharp it can leave a scar. Let’s play a game with Life And be cut by their knife. Let’s play a game with Death And let them take away your final breath. © 2014 Sandra Caskey |
