I Was Born Into Death! Poem by Michael Fischer

I died when I was born!
I was born into death;
A death where my opinion
rests in free will’s
unattended cemetery.
A death where I can be
anything I want, except
everything I want to be!

How am I so unlucky? !
Why was I the one chosen in
my parents’ rigged lottery?
When does my ticket expire?

In any case, I’m here;
trapped in “life’s” purgatory.
My “life” does not begin
until my death is complete!
