Death Is Due An Insult

Death is due an insult
In fact, it's way past due 
Born out of sin, no next of kin,
No love for life, no reason to.

No positive occupation,
To me it's pretty clear
He goes about with lip stuck out
His business is to interfere

With life and all it's blessing.
He doesn't think it's odd
That no one wants him hanging round.
He needs a better job.

But who can pay him off.?( LO L)) just getting a smile i hope Reta, I shall be completley straight though.. 'As its this subject' death for a true Christian should hold no real fear, for Christ has indeed overcome 'with great effort' in saying this I did have a concern about death even as a Christian, however the Lord put my mind in order regarding that event, which will free me completly I do not advise taking of ones own life or any others at all, but with the Lord is the better place to be.'

I really enjoyed reading your poem and your view, but don't you think that who wants to live forever? One day you will get bored, imagine thst you are getting old and old, helpless, weak, but death isn't coming, at that time when you are in pain and death comes, you just hug it like an old friend, because it tskes away all of your pain, and if you read NDE, they all share one common thing, which is peace, this was a relaly nice written poem, good luck and have a really nice day

Faraz, as always good of you to stop by. Your view on death got me thinking. Most people probably wouldn,t befriend or embrace death. In fact the hospitals, doctors offices are full of folks trying to avoid it. Great pain and sufferring brought to my mind 'Job'who according to the bible, suffered much illness and body affictions still he would not give up and die. I'm afraid that given a choice I would have to pray for strength and faith like Job and just trust God in the end..still I appreciate your kind words and pleasant visits, which are always welcome.
