The Game of Death
Death is infinite motivation. It is a ransom that we all must pay. It is a game that we all have entered that forces us out to play. But it is not a game of compromise. It is a game of keeps. It is not a game of likelihood but a game of certainty and in short, it is the only game in existence that mankind is reluctant to entertain. It is the motivator and the eradicator. It is the sinister and the good. It is a two-headed beast of unsightliness and beauty wielding a sword that cuts through pandemonium like a bolt of lightning on a clear day, commanding complete and utter silence. It can strengthen the weak and weaken the strong. It can humble the unhumble and break the unbreakable provoking tears and emotions that can be felt around the world. It is the polarization of life but its origin is parallel. It is nature's gladiator and life's nemesis, aiming perfectly and striking swiftly, void of emotion and oblivious of judgement. Death speaks with unadulterated candor. It is brutal honesty. It is raw truth, the symbol of our finality and the summation of our lives. It is a courageous victory in triumphant silence, the answering of our last call, the taking of our last stand and into eternity we fade....
