Life & Death

By Siddhi Pal

Life and death crossed path, Standing near the birdbath. 

Life looked at death with arrogance, Death smiled at life with elegance. 

Life mocked death- Here you to take a life again? 

Death smiled- I'm just freeing it from the pain. 

Life scoffed- You can only bring sorrow! Death mocked- They'll forget it by morrow! 

Life shot back- You are unworthy of love! Death retorted- I have heard enough! People wish for me as well! 

When they don't want to be trapped in the life cell! 

I might bring tears and separation! But I understand people's suppression. People wish for me at their end time, I've never committed a crime! 

I understand why people cry and die, Cause they've always been trapped in a lie! I get my children like no one else, Life is not just about X-mas bells! 

The sick ones seek comfort in me, Their soul just wants to be free! I free my kids from eternal pain, Being immortal is no one's gain! 

I comfort the dead one, 

Helping it escape from the enigmatic prison! 

I control the population, 

You do not provide the solution! 

People might despise my face 

But I won't let your hate reach my head With that being said death walked away in 

grace 

While life stood there being dumbfounded!
