Death's Life


all of us seem to live on borrowed time

especially those who are sick with illnesses

to grave to cure...  but, for the rest of us,

we live on the edge of life and on the edge

of life's turmoil, as wars and counter wars

are waged endlessly among each other in

a futile effort to acquire land that will be

taken back during the next battle...  we

wage war as if we are cooking meals 

for our friends and neighbors, expecting

visitors to smell the feast and try their

to eat our food as well, even though they

had never been invited...   we seem to

live on borrowed time while dressing

according to the season of our aging

hearts and souls that never seem to rest

until the last breath is drawn...   we spill

our thoughts like blood into the streets

of awareness just like those before us

did to escape persecution...   our life

revolves around our past and our past

revolves around our future as wi live

inside the mysteries of our present...

our time is borrowed from a future

generation that has no knowledge of

who we are or have become, hoping in

death we will finally be able to meet.
