Are You Afraid Of It?
I'm a mathematician and have taught mathematics and related courses for over 3 years. Still working on myself. Still I rise
Death
Death! O Death!
How dreadful you are
Like the sun
You shine on everything
Both useful and useless
Like a wind
You blow from nowhere
Sweeping away living beings
Like water
You drown organisms
Taking their breath away
Like a fire
You consume individuals
Both great and small
Like the earth
You hold your captives
Snatching them from loved ones
Like a blow
You smash your victims
Leaving scars behind
Like a dream
You take people
To a faraway land
A land of no return
Though I don’t wanna
Travel to that land yet
I am not afraid of death
Are you?
