Tradition of Death
We weren't meant to be forever
Life was never meant to last
Birth is only death's beginning
An onward struggle to a dignified end
The distances can be so different
But the outcomes always the same
Futile efforts to delay what is inevitable
To prolong what is our suffering
And so what does it matter?
The plight that we all face
Down different roads we travel
Bound by tradition of death
Promises of eternity
Lead to a false sense of security
And so what does it matter?
So easily replaced
In differing ways suffer
Bound by tradition of death
