Define Death Please

"What is death to a man
But to have his life ended?"

Please.
Don't be so lackadaisical.
Death to a man
Is the man's paradise.
Where the pain that construed 
him
Nurtured him
And taught him how to live
In a lifeless realm,
Is ripped from his soul.
So that even through 
inexistence
-The downright lack of mind and 
self-
Is cause to live.

I am not a pro on any form of poetry but...I know when I read a poem if I have enjoyed it. Now I have read yours and I have indeed enjoyed it Jewel. I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you find much inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors. Love, Carol
