A Life of Lies

the force of death
draws on every breath
in a gasp of air
death becomes clear
life revolves around dying
weak of heart trying
feeble attempt to justify
eternity and the afterlife
the promised land in sight
redemption through lies
a servant to the word
a slave to the absurd
death does not discriminate
disease will not insinuate
illusions will not prolong your life
you will die believing the lie
turning a blind eye
will only bind your mind
in the end we all must die
then discover what we find
