Mortality. People fear it. Personally, I do not. People despise it. Personally, I do not People try to avoid it Personally, I accept that No matter what It always comes. Mortality It’s that party crasher That everyone feared Would show up Uninvited. It’s that proverbial snake That you never see coming But will always end up Biting you. It is that distant relative That you don’t really like, That winds up on Your doorstep. Mortality. It is that reminder That our time Is limited here. That countdown Saying we better Start getting productive Before we get forgotten. That timer that reads Get to know your family Get to know your friends They might all be gone soon. That sign that says Road closed ahead Detour to the beyond. Mortality. It happens. End Of Discussions. Either Let it ruin your day Or Keep living on.
