Life and Death

Life and death

Some things you know, some things you don’t
Then why do you believe in the things unknown
What you see- you ignore, what you don’t- you fear
Your fear makes you a loser, can’t you see this dear?

You don’t really know what comes next after death
What actually happens after your last breath?
If you’re scared of death, you’ll be scared while you live
Don’t mess up your present; the present is your gift

Some talk of death like its worst thing of all
Afraid of the moment when death will make its call
But think, if no one died and all of us survived
Would it be possible for the resources to be revived?

There would be people everywhere, no place to stay
No water to drink, no place to live, and nowhere to play
What’s the use of a world like that?
What happens is for the best, always believe in that

Some talk of death just to judge their friends
To see if it affects them or they carry on their trends
Some hate death, some welcome it
But success comes to those, who live every bit

Death is just a phenomenon like walking, talking or birth
It’s nothing to be scared of- it is the most obvious thing on earth
But before you die make sure, that you’ve done what you’re born to do
Everyone has some talent- yeah that’s 100% true

Don’t be suppressed and open your heart
Don’t let the bad spirit catch you off guard
Identify your talents, and live your present
In the fear of future, don’t waste you present

We control our life, be independent and strong
Have faith in your intuitions, they’ll never be wrong
Death will come when it has to; you are born to die one day
But no matter how far you go, your memories will always stay…
