No Great Escape

December 4, 2011
By Anonymous

There is no way to get around Death,
no great escape.
It causes emotional distress,
And hate

There is no way to get around Death,
no great escape.
Swallows us up like a giant wave.
Death is certainly not great

There is no way to escape Death,
no great escape.
It steals us like a thief.
And leaves families in a sorrowful agape

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
