Death Is Not Natural


Death is not natural

It has been imposed upon us

This is obvious to anyone

Who has looked into another's eyes

 

Behind them, just there

Is the part of us that we know is forever

Not the body, or even the consciousness

But something more

 

The thing some call the 'soul'

It does not die and we know this

Where it goes when our bodies fail

Is the question that destroys worlds
