POEM STARTER

Write a poem with the title 'Life Lessons from Death'.

Consider what Death might want to impart on those who can experience living, and the voice that Death might speak from.

I curse In this One

What can someone

Who reflects on the realization

That the father they idealized

Only obtained ownership


Because the mother they hated

Asked them to


**Be defeated by? **


What can someone be defeated by

If they look back on that


With gratitude anyway?


Can you conceive that,

Reader?


Can you conceive gratitude, somewhere


Somehow,


For life?


With the atrocities spurring you to your grave

With the unconscious pains from merely


Surviving


Death offers you relent

By asking you to tell it


**_To fuck itself_**


And find love somehow, someway too.
