Life & Death


I am a wraith

And I refuse to believe that 

Some life should be spared

I realize this may be a shock, but

Life can be precious

Is a lie

There are no monsters

In 30 years, I will tell my children that 

I have my priorities straight because

Death

Is more important than

Life 

I tell you this

Once upon a time

The world was full of life

But this will not be true in my era

There will be chaos, insanity

Experts tell me

Your full of anger, losing sanity

I do not conclude that 

All anger and hate can help

In the future,

The world will be gone

No longer can it be said that 

The world will last forever

It will be evident that

Life will come to an end

It is foolish to presume that

Some things last forever after all

And all of this will come true unless we reverse it


The author's comments:

This is a reversal poem. The two topics popped into my mind when I wrote it. I like the contrast of the topics.
