Death is the end of a life short or long
Then to this world we no longer belong,
Where do we go to we may well ask
To answer this is an impossible task.
Thinking of death is an oppressive thought
Which I think can make us feel quite distraught
No matter what you do it looms ahead
And these thoughts you just can`t put to bed.
Is there life after death we`d like to know
And how can we be sure how can we know
This is a thought that will enter our mind
But there`s no answer so we are left blind.
No more will we feel the heat of the sun
Or laugh and play and just have some fun
Or listen to the rain when the clouds burst
Drenching the ground and quenching its thirst.
The beautiful rainbow we will see no more
And those vivid colours we`ll miss for sure
We`ll fight to live with our dying breath
As people around us witness our death.
No more can we wipe our children`s tears
Nor hear the sound of laughter in our ears
Nor see our family flourish and grow
No more our love on them can we bestow.
We are given life then it`s taken back
Not sure this is something I can hack
When life is over there`s no coming back
There`s no light now only the colour black.
Our lifespan over so we can`t stay
Here we`ll lay forever and a day
Be it in the grave or in the urn
Either way we will never return.
Eternal death is what we now face
No longer part of the human race
Eternity`s too long to be dead
I would sooner stay here instead.
