We die because of old age... <br />We die because due to our destructive decisions... <br />We die because of our addictions... <br />Did god set limits to humanity itself <br />With inetivable expirations, <br />Is there some big lesson me must learn when we depart...? <br />It is a hell downstairs but a paradise upstairs... <br />A cycle of life and death... <br />People go to the afterlife just so other inhabitants can be born... <br />More questions scurry around my mind... <br />My only fear is being a soul <br />inside the body of another... <br />I believe once a veteran has left their trademark, <br />Thou shalt not do it again.<br /><br />Patrick Derilus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-must-we-die/
