WHY FEAR DEATH (BY: JOSEPH SUCCESS)

Why fear death when life in itself is damned

Speaking evil of death when it is our final resting place

Both the rich and the poor will share

A life of fulfillment and equality

And the noble lords shall be dressed same with the pauper

Brushing shoulders as they are rushed into eternity

Of fabled damnation or eternal rest

But who cares for this life

When each day reminds you of your final succor

Death in itself

Why fear humans when you are one

Standing on two legs with tails shaped into buttocks

Terrorizing creatures so far named animals

Using them for meat while condemning their tastes

Caring not if they have souls for reckoning

Giving them no chance to repent of their animistic sins

What happens if their blood should cry against you

And your fellow two feet standing humans eats you

Sharing your body parts over a camp fire

While in death you termed them cannibals

Forgetting that you once preyed on four footed animals

Why marry when you can leave alone

Doing things the way you want

Priding yourself as the lord of your decisions

Lying on the bed with a self fulfilled smile

Yet loneliness still creeps to your heart

Which neither prostitutes nor masturbation can take off

A partner being the ideal solution

Coming into your life and turning it around

Complaints the order of your peaceful day

But who are you to say anything

Your life is no longer yours

Wait patiently for death to make you fulfilled

Why fear death when life in itself is damned

And the only hope rest in a keg of palm-wine

Drown that fear and face life headlong

Making necessity the father of your inventions

For death is the continuation of life in silence.
