Death

Death
Is an
Incredible
Cliché 
That 
Invented
Us
We owe
Our evolution
Revolution,
Imagination,
And fear
To it.
 
It is a stop
Sign
Where some
Freeze
With 
Ease
Or in the hard
Way
And evaporate.

For some
It is 
Fair
And
Fear

Others
See it
As an
Up-hill stairs
Or
A down-hill
Stairs.

For some
It is 
A bridge
To beloved one.

For others
It is
Vacuum,
Nothing,
Nowhere,
It is hell.
