Life's Irony

How sick and cruel
can irony be?
When a boy was given a chance 
to live again 
but only to die once more.
Should death not be
until one grows old.
What about one who makes changes,
to live a longer life,
but only to die sooner?
How sick and cruel can it be?
Only as sick and cruel as it is!
