Nothing Eternal

Interesting read. Many living think it is better to die to begin living eternally, though the jury is still out on that and the judge has invoked his right to remain silent. I grew up with a cemetery as my playground and never worried about the dead beneath my feet. Either their souls were elsewhere or they never had one. I will either find out when I die or I will not know that I was ever alive. The latter will leave the Reaper feeling rather grim...

Hmm, I don't think Grim cares or maybe even knows either way, who dies and when is Fates choice, Grim just makes sure you do at the right time

:)

love this but I would argue that some of the dead would still be glad to be dead rather than alive :p

The flow is important. I enjoy poems that do not have an atypical rhyme scheme, like this one. "The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive" is a line from the movie Full Metal Jacket.

  Ahhh, this is good writing man... Your first two lines, Ooo, love em man... Rows of crooked teeth, Old tombstones erode. good line m friend.
"Gothic Monuments of an age long past" Man, now you are speakin my language, love it man, and than time piece... how you today thus dfar mine frined: wolf

Great write Twisted. The last two lines are awesome, and I have always been in agreeance with the dead are better left dead.
