    DEATH BY LIFE

    DEATH BY LIFE

    What punishment best fits us for all our sins,
    Why try to end it all when you stop to think about it,
    We have all been sentenced, This life, This torture,
    The enduring pain of the eternal death, Or life,
    To live a life that is not forgiving in a world,
    Where survival is measured, Not in years, But seconds,
    Living is dying, Dying is life, Life is never complete,
    We die to soon too  understand why?
    There is no way out, No way around it,
    We live, We die some say to a certain tempo,
    Our heart beats, It has rhythm, It has a life,
    It beats fast, Slow, Or sometimes,  Not at all,
    So here we are, Sentenced to a life, With out parole,
    Sentenced to death...By life...............................

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
