Death of An Intellectual

The last stage of life, I will not go out without a fight. Clinging desperately 
to the last drop of mortality. An accomplished intellectual, accurate and clear, 
yet unmindful of the accessible, an eternal afterlife, an immortal soul. I have 
wandered the world, mastering ponderous planes of purpose, however, departed from 
the indisputable truth of my defining moment. Throughout my all- encompassing 
intelligence I am not ready for this. I am not ready to embrace my ignorance and 
surge into my soul.
