Death The Termination Of Thought? Poem by Terence George Craddock

fear of death is a universal theme
because death ends all mortal life;
first age causes reflections in later years

retrospection pondering in time lost years;
then death the termination of thought
the prospect the great dusted off nothing;

society has many established beliefs
speculating or claiming to know what;
eventuates after exit dead end death

the answers are preservation religious;
the answers are desires needs cultural;
the answers are eternity promised paradise;
