When you finally realize
your life is a death sentence
in every breath
your eyes and mind
try to find transcendence
and independence
before you die.

The trouble is that the majority of us do not recognize our own mortality until the weight of our mistakes leave us unable to lift our eyes to the heavens.
Life is transcient however, many are oblivious. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing
it is encouring that despite the awareness of death sentence poem talks about freedom and illumination. Independence certainly comes with accepting our mortality and moving on. Very nice poem.
Death is inevitable but still we forget that in our greed for materialism. Nicely philosophized. Enjoyed Thanks
Profoundly expressed. Very philosophical too. Thanks for sharing.
The poem theme is the mortality of human being which I feel the living organisms are destined to depart from the world in the ultimate end result of life and predestined by the universal power or something else one selects the words according to his beliefs. Transcendence and independence is destined to us according to our actions in this world which must be certainly within the parameters of judgement of good deeds the world likes to see one to act. The poem is worthy for understanding and makes its meaning in a good sense.
What once was so simple would now be the most important things in our lives. Yet are we ready for goodbye? Thank you and may your write be pure creation.
Talking of the inevitability, when faced with death sentence it is a different ball game. Nice thought
