Coming to Grips with Our Morality

When we were young

Death was viewed

in the abstract

We saw ourselves always existing

As if we our immortal

Death was something

in the far distant future

It was only as time marches on

That we become painfully aware

of our morality

Become painfully aware

of our impending demise

Death

is seen less as an abstract concept

And more as a sad reality

This

is when death becomes scary

Because you realize

It cannot be avoided

So instead

We must enjoy the time we have

For we cannot

Spend our life

Being scared of our demise

Being scared

of our own morality
