What part of death shall ever realize?
Or is life the other side of death?
If death escape us, then it entrants us into another existence.
Is death the other side of life?

Which side of reality dies?
Cherrubs glorify death; ghouls demonize it.
People celebrate it. Others mourn.
Can death damn us without really being?
Obituaries flame controversy.
Rehash the mental and physical infirmities.
Long lists of names shock us back to life?
Cemeteries inhabit numerous occupants continually.
Crematories ash bodies for urns.
When your dead, you live somewhere else.
When your alive, you can't be dead.
Between life and death fosters deadness.
So, you mean death of the body. We all know.
Death of the soul gains disrepute, then.
Does the soul survive through death?
Which is alive, soul or body?
I won't recant what I can't.
You witness as do I.
I write in a diary. That which I don't see,
I may write, too
