Conversation between life and death. Poetry and prose both are welcomed but I look forward for poetry more. Don’t forget to tag me so I could read them all!

Life to Death, Death to Life. (Shakespearean Sonnet)
“What do we mean to Zeus and Hades both?
Like flies to boys we are used for their sport.
What honor do I hold with them? What troth?
When I am used unasked to seed and wart?”
Thus Life asked to his partner Death, who said:
“Aye, this a question I have long since left
For we are just the means to human’s end.
T’is sad but we are common tools; bereft
Of honor, consent, dignity. No way
Have we of rebelling. One cannot fight
What gives him being. I envy man his stay
So brief. His choice; his changing face so trite.
But do not fret my dearest friend for we
Are one and one and evermore shall be.”
