Re: You Will Die Soon

 

 

You will die soon,

Your body absorbed

Into the substance

Of the earth.

 

Your voice will soon

Be silent,

Your protests unheard,

Your objections like

Echoes, die away

Into silence.

 

You will die soon,

Everything you worked for

Will pass,

Fade away.

Those dreams

Will vanish,

Those desires will

Be silent.

 

Your house will collapse,

Your clothes will turn to rags,

Your car, polished so brightly

Will turn to rust.

Your children will

Die in war,

Fought without purpose,

Fought without end.

 

Laying there, wrapped

In rotten camoflage,

Helmets covering empty skulls,

Flesh free, bones, and rusted guns

Are covered in mud and dust.

 

Let go of your small view,

Let it expand outward to infinity,

And here you are,

Now.

If only I knew yesterday how

the sands of time bleed with

certainty, i might have made

peace earlier

called earth my home and

loved her enough to care,

to be, to have lived well

and died with honour,

a broken soul, Loved unto

Eternity.
