Death is barely tolerated
Death is seldom celebrated
People cheat death everyday
No one ever claims they cheated life
Death is berated
Much akin to those poorly scripted b-rated films
Death is diminished
When it comes unexpectedly
Because some one’s life ended unfinished
Now, that’s such a truly sad tragedy
Unfinished
Unfulfilled
Unfilmed
Un…forevemore…
Un dreamed
Un done
Under lived
Under established
For all these reasons
And for probably a hell of a lot more
Death is barely tolerated
Death is seldom celebrated.
