DEATH

My thoughts on death.

SOME people admire it
    SOME people desire it
       SOME people cause it
          SOME people cure it
             SOME people want it more than anything else
                SOME people fear it more than anything else
                   SOME people are oblivious to it
Yet
             The funny part is
                  DEATH IS ABSOLUTE
                     EVERYTHING THAT BREATHES
                        WILL HAVE A TASTE OF IT
But then
                      Aren't we
                          DENYING THE INEVITABLE
                             As we draw each breath
                                THE VOID DRAWS CLOSER
                                   JUST LIKE A MOTH IS DRAWN TO A FLAME
Yet
                               Every little trinket that shines
                                   DISPELS THIS FEAR FROM OUR HEARTS
                                       JUST LIKE A SHADOW IS DISPELLED BY THE SUN
                                          AND WE GET BACK TO OUR PATHETIC INCONSEQUENTIAL LIVES
                                             FEEDING OUR EVER-INSATIABLE EGO 
                                                LIKE A COLONY OF ANTS FEEDING THEIR QUEEN
And
                                           WE FORGET THAT THE REAPER IS ALWAYS NEAR
                                              FOLLOWING US AROUND LIKE A SHADOW 
                                                 CAPABLE OF ERASING OUR EXISTENCE WITH ONE ICY STRIKE 
                                                    JUST LIKE A GUSH OF WIND EXTINGUISHES A CANDLE
