Objectivity
Death sits on the heads of our lives
draws out long breaths and cuts us short
yet time is an enzyme to knowledge
and who but Death knows true age?
Cruel Death, we say, but
"there's no art to find the mind's construction
in the face", misconstrued and hollow as is His
whose swift grasp - not cruel, but emphatic.

I think death and life are more harmonious than we believe, every action is carried with an opposite equal reaction in the universe, such goes the same for existing! Thank you for your insight Lizard Queen!

Short on words but not insight. Your words pack an impressive punch and "yet time is an enzyme to knowledge" is a terrific line. Well done.

My more lengthy poems seem not to have affected many people, I think the shorter one leaves a poem, the less time one has to prepare for its conclusion and impact. Thank you very much Tony!
