death
what is death?
is ti sliping into a deap sleep never to wake or
drifting off getnly into the abbyss?
is it the be all and end all or
is ti the start of someting?

dose death hasve a colour
is it black white
dark or light

dose death stalk us
by sythe or by life

is death for some life for other

dose death seek us or do we seek it

life is death and death is life

the coice is your life or death?

I've got one ....

There was a young lady from Nantucket
Who went about town with a bucket

Erm ... can't finish that...

Personally it is too morbid for my liking.

Extremely depressing and morbid. One should always choose life.

Its better to live than to die because the ones who care for you would deeply sadden by death.

well i don't think i like it because i think the spelling is all mistakes.

but if you really meant instead to DOSE death, like poision it, as opposed to asking the question, "DOES death...?"

well then i might like some of it, but you would have to switch the punctuation too to say what i like to hear, to show that you are dosing death with something, like it is a common kidnap victim, and forcing it to have a color.

Dose death! (yeah, you like that you punk?) Have a colour! (you blind son of a... ! !!)

I like it. I don't see death as an ending though, just a new beginning to a different part of our existence.

I like it
It seems like earnest but lyrical musings on a critically important subject

Here's my try on death.

NOT LONG

Three score and ten is not long
To dance your little dance,
Sing your song,
To snatch a patch of blue from the sky,
To wonder what in hell and why,
To peer into the well of history
And find it murky, solves no mystery,
To despair at ways that things are run,
To catch and grasp your bit of life, your fun,
And realize that everything you know
Will sweep away like shadows over snow.

But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nan tucket.
