Death is but a promise
made to us at birth.
Death is but our future
planned from the start.
Then why is it
people want to live?
Then why is it
people fear death?
We are taught young
all things die.
We are taught young
nothing lives forever.
Death is but a promise
we know will be full filled.
Death is but our future,
drawing ever closer.
Then why is it
we try and run?
Then why is it
people try and live forever?
