The Inevitability of Death and the Fragility of Life

Uncovering the Mysteries of the Cosmos and the Horror that Lies Beyond

By Michael König-WeichhardtPublished 4 years ago • Updated 4 years ago • 1 min read

In the depths of the darkest abyss,

Lies a secret so foul it's amiss.

It's the essence of life,

And the cause of our strife,

And it brings all that lives to remiss.

For death is a force so profound,

It's the darkness that's always around.

It will come for us all,

When our time's up, we'll fall,

And we'll vanish without making a sound.

But life is a thing to behold,

With its wonders and stories untold.

It's a fleeting affair,

So we must take great care,

To make every moment worth gold.

And when the time comes for us to go,

We'll accept it and not put on a show.

For in death, we find peace,

And our worries will cease,

As we join the great cosmic flow.
