Death Row **revised

by ddavidd   Apr 10, 2023


We all are on death row.

we all are convicted of living,
consuming, constant manducation!

Our death is intended
unless we prove life otherwise.

I have found eternity
for I have learned death,
for the nemesis that feeds on our fears
and wiles us to need more, to devour,
is after our deathlessness.
to
by making us fear the death
steal our everlasting lives.
by milking our passion for life,
by fomenting the fear of end,
by blurring our visions in division
to sunder our perpetual prevision
to the foemen of death and life
by such precise scission.

We choose to die
for all other doors are concealed.
We have to die
like sheep in the slaughter house queues,
rolling to the packaging assembly lines.

Death is with us always,
not as an invisible object
but as the only path they paved for us.

Death is for those who
do not remember their eternal selves.
Death is for those who
are afraid of death.
