Have your ever thought <br />That maybe we are already dead? <br />That this place we call Earth <br />Is our punishment? <br />After living our real lives <br />We were condemned to a <br />Lifetime on Earth <br />The ones who die young <br />Are the lucky ones- <br />The ones who didn't screw up <br />Their previous lives <br />The ones who live to a ripe old age <br />Well, they must've really screwed <br />Something up, for such a <br />Long sentence to Earth <br />The suicidals- <br />They're the geniuses <br />They understand that this is Hell <br />And they've found the loophole- <br />End it yourself <br />Because if this is our punishment <br />It can only get better, right?<br /><br />Shannon Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-this-our-punishment/
