Death and Life
I
She said, "I had no time for death:
Why did Creation give me lungs - two?"
I wonder about immortality, do you?
Yet I ponder, how quickly we wish for death
At 122, we outlive family, stare at lying TV?
II
I have died a hundred times
Without folly or courage to take my life
Do thoughts of suicide come with strife?
I am afraid I respect what Scripture chimes::
Dying by your hands is self-righteous as lying Judas
III
Dying, a seed, brings fructifying life
Living, we haunt fame or perpetual strife
Jesus always has an answer
Be it Covid-19, SARS, TB, or cancer
His cross: surrender to death in life; Revive To Survive
