Conversation With Relatives

Today I feel a furious intensity About two years, ago Family members would always love to share The news about the passing of someone Either from the village, or someone, I once knew I remember during our conversations; I would tense up And asked of them not to called and give me bad news Death is a daily reminder, right up there on our calendars When I was away, my neighbor Call and told me, that someone was Outside my door, all dress in black banging on my door Right away my thoughts were The Angel of Death, looking for me... During these pandemics' day, he is all over the place Like an Amazon Prime van, outnumbered by UPS trucks, While the world is being shut down, Some of the people, refused to give a rat ass They still refusing the vaccines Protecting themselves, or worried about this thing call death Death will clinch us all, poets always write about it As they convey things that other forms of expression can’t. Quote: A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live. Lao Tzu My motto for today is live each day as if it's your last.
