Practice Death

It happened even before I chose

By Karun Published 4 months ago 1 min read

A century later

you and I would be late

Yet for the world that doesn't matter

Struggling the fate

Death stops all your pain

how are we all going to die one day?

How are you? Are you fine

What is it at the end of the way?

One day everyone will retire

We will all rest in peace

Everything should once expire

Everything you own is just for lease

It's time to go practice death

like a gentle harvest in the fields

It's time to hold your breath

gather the ripened souls, does it taste good?

Live the death

Alive in the sleep

wake up out of breath

Choke in deep

Practice death every day

Don't wait until there is a message

Sun marked the end of the day

death signals the end of his mortal voyage.

The breath of wind, a whisper decree

Whispers of what will and what will be.

Do you know how it'll be

The death of you and me

I am blind, before eyes close

I just remembered you at the last

It happened even before I chose

It was when I forgot all the past

One minute silence

before it's all over blank

Book for the death licence

I will drive you to hell and heaven back

A century later

you and I would be late

Yet for the world that doesn't matter

Struggling the fate

It's time to go practice death

like a gentle harvest in the fields

It's time to hold your breath

gather the ripened souls, does it taste bitter?

Guess not at all

It's time to die pose a photograph

The last smile in the nightfall

I saw the Graveyard laugh
