Life And Death Poem by Walterrean Salley

Life And Death

Rating: ★3.9


In life,
Death is reflected.
Yet the subject
Is neglected.

And despite
How rejected,
Its due
Will be collected.

To life,
Death is connected.
Thus life itself
Is affected.

And no matter
How dejected—
Death will someday
Be “effected.”
