Life or Death? You Choose.

Posted on Friday August 21, 2009 by St. Johns

One day, we will all realize.
That death itself.
Is a lot simpler than we all think.
It has it's ups and downs.
But when the time comes for it, it's our time.

We will all stand by, watching the darkness cover our eyes.
With the deciet and the lies forcefully shoved into our ears.
But then we think, how do they feel?

You don't think, you just stand there and watch.
Unfeeling of the horror going through someones mind as they slowly die.
The only thing that they are thinking is, How could they? How could they just stand there, watching?

And then, when they finally die.
You realize what you have done.
Thinking about what you could have done to save that mans life.

How do you really feel? How do you honestly really feel?
About someone close to you dying without your help of healing.
They could have lived, but you chose their death for them.
You have no right to choose to live or die for another person.

Am I the only one? Am I the only one who thinks this is sufferable?
The only one who believes in life?

Show me wrong.
