Painful Truth


Since ancient time

It's being described

As the light that will end all life.

 

The beautiful lie

That everyone likes

Get to its end thanks

To “painful” Death.

 

Inside the dark coffin

The body lies

Without the soul

That was once alive.

 

The poor souls cry

Because their loved one

Had decided to die;

To take their own life.
