Mortem

John Donne Said,

“Death, thou shalt die”

Diving into its depth, a few questions arise,

My curious mind can’t help but pry,

If death shall cease to exist one day,

Would it be held accountable?

Would it be made to stand in the court,

To be judged and be held responsible?

Then I wonder if it’d be sent to the heavens,

For relieving someone from an incurable pain?

Or would it be burnt in all the seven hells,

For taking someone’s father away?

Would it be sent to the hell,

For depriving a mother of her child’s first cry?

Or would it be allowed to stay in the heavens,

For saving that child from his throat running dry?

Or Perhaps it would be allowed to remain,

In a prison with all the blessings,

Hell making an abode in the heaven,

A place that is peacefully depressing.
