Death is deeper than life!
Life lasts a lifetime
But death lasts forever
Life is about existing
Fighting, surviving, compromising
And persistently trying.
Death is a brief occurrence
That creates a permanent state
An end to internal battles
By an external escape.
What was is no more
Overlooked and disregarded
Life is an act as a matter of fact
But death is for real.
Death is deeper than life
Whether buried or cremated
The late, the great, passed away
But memories were created.
Life is predictable
We’re born, we live, we die
But death is much deeper
Because the afterlife’s unknown.
Death is deeper than life
Especially when 6 feet under
The end of life is the beginning of death
Which will last forever.
