Life And Death Poem by Compton Wright

(Part 1) Life!

Life is what i breath, speak, walk, created
Life gets hard when the air
You breathe turns to toxic.
The way that you speak
Only speak in suffering.
The way you walk becomes
Hard until you start to crawl.
And finally the life you created
becomes wasted by a single decision.
Life what I tried to conquer and convert
Into my lifestyle appeal.
But life smacks me in the face
When life itself gets easy
The struggle to the finish
Work like a slave
And eat like a king
And that's what life taught me
To do in a lifetime so far

(Part 2) Death!

Death is what i used to fear
But now so many people die
On this world it doesn't scare me anymore.
Getting shot, chopped, bombed, robbed
it ends like the rest...Death!
Sometimes the lucky ones die by age
not by a disease, a bullet wound
A cold, an accident, or not even suicide.
I wouldn't care if i died if i lived my life fairly enough
young or old, long or short lived, rich or poor
we only have one life, one faith, one god and
Hopefully for me...One elevator that's only goes up
Above the clouds never down under the soil of the earth.
