A poem.
~
I am surrounded by death.
Death is not to be feared, but in fact, the wisdom one can only spiritually gain in the final ticking moments at the end of this life on earth is to be celebrated.
It is to be celebrated in the most grand form of the word "celebration", since this knowledge and perception of life can truly only be obtained in death, looking back on life.
Death should be something we as humans see as beautiful, as a normal process in the cycle of life.
We take from this earth and give nothing, we live this life and expect to avoid death, the clumsy, fearful, ominous thing we are bred to believe that it is.
I am surrounded by death.
Death is not to be feared.
It is to be celebrated.
Sometimes though, even frat boys become sick of a good party.
