Death and Life

Death and Life When shall we understand That it is not death We struggle against But this thing we call life Life Life which does not comprehend The magnitude of its being Made small by the conception Of living, breathing, heart beating, blood flowing Ends In death Death Is The eternal life Life Bound by our human concept Our tiny mind of propensity To worldly goods And Earth ridden need Does not feel the stars universal Or creation beheld But existent undeniable it is There Floating eternity above our heads Life Denies the stars Turns its eye to ridicule amongst the suns And exchanges them for small planetary money Swaps it for political ideals And economies And religious deals and books Of explanatory And all with these to give to their excuse Of their complication Of death Explain How Have you lived ? If defined by love If defined by hatred Conceive nothing more Than Just is Death And Life That which We struggle against Is nothing But life To which we cling So desperate While the eternal Breathes There Above Our Heads ( it is our own fear that stops us from reaching and touching the stars )
