Birth Is A Suicide Mission Poem by soren Barrett

Time is a cosmic loop
We try to deny reality
We return to where we've been
But can't admit our mortality
I never got to know you
You were gone before I knew
Time shows no mercy
And at the speed of light flew

We had days of glory
Now turned to rust
Dreams of gold
Now only dust
Fulfillment complete
Full of lust
Emaciation replete
Lack of trust

Each day we are born
Every day is our death
Blinded to this
We take our first and last breath
To be born again
We return to the sands of time
Our children born to die
Isn't it sublime

To take someone's time
Is to take all they've got
You can't pay them back
An option it's not
No one will leave alive
Regrets are cast in stone
We only come this way once
We all leave alone
