The Trick To This Life Poem by Mark Heathcote

What's the happiest day you've lived?
Does anyone remember such a day?
Most days are so indifferent; that if you died
Let's say, that if you died. Let us… say
Tomorrow would anybody truly care?
Or feel any sorrow. Statistics' would point...
So, now good, there's another one off welfare.
… The trick to this life…
Is not to concede to Death
Why embellish upon perfection?
Nothing but nothing is ever to our satisfaction
Life is life, Death… tell me who or what death is.
So what's the happiest day you've ever lived?
I pray it was today,
I pray it will be the same again tomorrow.
I pray that when you die
The world is wailing consumed with sorrow.
