DEATH

DEATH

 

You blew your bubble filled with lies,

To prevent the light of Truth from entering you.

You feed it with the suffering of the innocents.

To shun the inevitability of Death.

 

You coined the delusion of money,

For measuring Time and framed the reality,

As a state of imprisonment for humanity.

You feed on their life force and blood,

To shun the inevitability of Death.

 

You dig under the surface of the Earth,

And delve deep into the oceans.

You torture and vivisect the physically manifest,

For laying the road to your immortality.

You tweak the essential sentient principle,

To shun the inevitability of Death.

 

You jettison yourself outside of what you are,

In search for a state of deathlessness.

You are doing everything in your power,

To transport yourself into a deathless world,

To shun the inevitability of Death.

 

You, who realizes, this is about you.

You, who is now forced to look into this mirror,

And face your awkward and despicable Self,

Your shots at permanence are futile.

YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

YOUR DEATH IS CERTAIN.

I immediatly felt like this poem could be a song filled with dark emotions. You have a talent for expressing how you feel so that the reader feels it as well. Awesome

[Diamond]

What better reflection can there be on a world that is deluged in darkness? Reflection = shedding light on the darkness. I Appreciate your reading and commenting.

[John the Baptist]

It would be nice to know who is being addressed here.

[Diamond]

Poetry is the self-explanatory mode of freedom, both for the reader as well the "poet". I appreciate your visit.

Immortality, not something I am interested in yet many others are. How awful to be brought back years later, only to realise you know no one. Everyone you ever knew had gone. My mind wandered Diamond as I read your lines.

Death is mercy, freedom from all. And the most beautiful Truth of being Sentient. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts here, dear Chris.

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

prophetic words that speak to the current state of mankind. And in our search for immortality we destroy the things around us, and in the end ourselves in the process. Thank you for sharing your poem.

I appreciate your reading and reviewing, Carlos. You are so accurate with what you say. A fact, most will deny.
