Death comes and goes
Like a guest at a uninvited party
Death can be a friend or an enemy

It can take your love
It can also take your foe
It can bestow a burden of vacantness
It can set you free

It can give you the gift of sorrow
It may throw you joy
Because of it, you can face a challenge
Or you can take a big step forward

Death also leaves humanity
A question, Is It
Good or Bad?

Osvaldo Roman Cerda
