LIFE AND DEATH OPTIONS
Life and death options"
The terminus of life is death. We all go. No exceptions, no recourse.
Choices are personal and cultural respecting whether to live or die.
Death we know not. Life we know.
Whether it is better to stay or to go?
To forfeit this, for that we don't know.
Most people leave here involuntarily
No need to hurry death unnecessarily
Some choose to take their own lives
In varying forms of suicide.
Is life a fickle miracle or a divine gift?
That judgment each one must make.
Is living now a prior choice applied; or
A consequence of cosmic suicide?
Its tenuousness cannot be denied!
Harakiri to some is an honored ritual
To others, it's a horror and disgrace
Either way, inevitability runs its race.
If we had no choice in coming here
Whence comes our choice to die?
Chance, choice, ordained, or all one:
what purpose is served to live or die?
Only Creator/God truly knows why!
Whether good, bad or in between,
All destiny is known;
all that exists in space/time
must soon go back home!
