So my question to you is simple and yet sharp as a knife, <br />Are you living a life of death or the death of your life? <br />Is death coming suddenly, or are you just wasting away? <br />Which of these morose questions holds the truth I cannot say, <br />With one hand you're watching your life decay, <br />On the other you're waiting for your last day, <br />Whichever of these statements you feel is true, <br />The end of your life is all it comes down to.<br /><br />Andre Veilleux<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-life-of-death-or-the-death-of-life/
