Death the Final Frontier

We are born to crying 
Tears smiles and pride
Live our lives hearts desire
Emotional roller coaster ride
Guidance from our elders
Often not absorbed
Until we make mistakes
Than are questions are ignored
So many paths to follow
So much to learn
Feed your brain 
Buy a house money to earn
We all end the same
No air to breathe
Blood drained from our veins
For some it's magical
A ride of pure delight
Others drown senses
Obscuring every plight
Many blinded by 
Lessons of life
Will make a second quest
On earth 
souls torture and trife!
Death, the final frontier
Infinity is ended 
You no longer 
Have a care
The living are left
To clean and carry on
Make sense of it all
Long after you are gone.
