Thinking Of Death
Because I cannot stop for death,
Best gains must have the losses' test.
Color, cast, denomination,
Self pity, happiness, procrastination.
Angels in the early morning.
Life's eternity always burning.
Death is potential to every man.
Upon the bridge, we all will stand.
Let down the bars 'oh death'!
Now what we did shall be the test.
We will find out when we die.
We're all born into one big lie.
Cultivation of your life was at stake.
Upon your death, you will awake.
We are born into life simply to enhance,
If only we could die to take a glance.
To earn the art within the soul,
Would be to have the full control.
Life is a suspended existence,
Upon Death's only remembrance.© Chris Litts,
