Rudolph Rinaldi Poet Blank verse

It Is Nice That Life Lasts Longer These Days

IT IS NICE THAT LIFE LASTS LONGER THESE DAYS
THAN LONG AGO
WHEN THE GRIM REAPER COMES TO TAKE US AWAY WITH HIM 
TO WHEREVER
WE  NOW FIND OURSELVES PRETTY WORN OUT AND HAPPY TO GO WITH HIM

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU ENCOMPASS THE FEELING THAT LIFE IS WORTH LIVING
AND TRY TO KEEP IN THE ZONE 
IT IS A FALSE HOPE
BUT THE ONLY HOPE OF SURVIVING
THIS WORLD WITHOUT MEANING

WE STRUGGLE TO FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE
WE LISTEN TO OTHERS
WE READ BOOKS AND 
WE GO BACK INTO HISTORY
AND TAKE OUR FOUND TRUTHS 
AND PROJECT THEM INTO THE FUTURE

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU ENCOMPASS THE FEELING THAT LIFE IS WORTH LIVING
AND TRY TO KEEP IN THE ZONE 
IT IS A FALSE HOPE
BUT THE ONLY HOPE OF SURVIVING 
THIS WORLD WITHOUT MEANING

IT IS NICE THAT LIFE LASTS LONGER THESE DAYS
THAN LONG AGO
WHEN THE GRIM REAPER COMES TO TAKE US AWAY WITH HIM 
TO WHEREVER
WE NOW FIND OURSELVES  PRETTY WORN OUT AND HAPPY TO GO WITH HIM
