Why Must We Die..? Poem by Patrick Derilus

We die because of old age...
We die because due to our destructive decisions...
We die because of our addictions...
Did god set limits to humanity itself
With inetivable expirations,
Is there some big lesson me must learn when we depart...?
It is a hell downstairs but a paradise upstairs...
A cycle of life and death...
People go to the afterlife just so other inhabitants can be born...
More questions scurry around my mind...
My only fear is being a soul
inside the body of another...
I believe once a veteran has left their trademark,
Thou shalt not do it again.
