LIFE OR DEATH ? 

Life or death? It matters not

when you get to our age;

an age more than the years

have counted for us;

the life we lived, the death waiting,

they matter not, when

your mind is tired,

your body longs to rest.

Too many lives have ended,

too many deaths come to pass,

too many through our hands

have left life and been no more,

for us to care about the life

now crawling towards it's end,

the moment that erases all

moments before

and is called death.

Life, death they matter not

when so many lives have ended,

when so many deaths

have silenced hearts and voices

muting the world we had.

If we go crawling on  -

so be it. If we pass

away and someone has to

wash us and dig a grave,

then so be it.

This life, the death

that comes, they matter not.
