Underdeveloped Concepts of Death

A child's nightmare Consists of evil beings And scary faces That supposedly inspire fear... But, a child does not know Death nor Blood nor Violence nor Evil. What then, does the child fear If not death? Then again, What is Death But the unknown! Do children fear the unknown? If so, then Why do they seem To embrace It with open arms? Perhaps this underdeveloped concept of Death That toys with us in the early stages of our lives Is the only truth And the only lie We will ever need In order to keep us alive long and pointlessly enough until we, Death's theatre, Cease To be entertaining And Die.
