Life Or Death Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Life Or Death



Up or down
forward or back

Polarity ends
in a panic attack

Start, stop
the stillness portends

The middle a wasteland
lost years of pretend

Before or after
in front or behind

Timing entraps
with the devil's design

Salvation, damnation
souls to contend

To live or to die
—to start or to end

Opposite choices that always make us stop, because each leads to different extremes. The middle a wasteland lost years of pretend Very true, very true.
