DEATH! PART ONE

DEATH! PART I

You know, when ever people use the word death, they use it like a whisper. They'll say, he/she died. We use it for somebody else and even when we see people dying in a war, been killed, even when we're entertained.

We lie to ourselves because they're only actors. They're not good as been killed. They're only acting. So the scenario of death, doesn't even come to us. It doesn't really reach home.

You're busy piling up, calculating, developing your carrier, your money, your occupation, your wealth. Until you visit the funeral. Think about it, when was the last time that you went to a funeral or grave? Was it your mother, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin...?

When you went and saw that person whom you loved, that was laughing, crying, boasting, wealthy, educated, denied, arrogant, what ever they were. What was the demeanor of the people when you walked into that funeral.

Where they cracking jokes, dancing, clapping, singing. No! Silence, melancholy, trauma. Why? Because every person that seen the person stretched out. The first thing they thought about, was this not the person, one day will it be me?

All of us are engaged in running our mouths, doing business, multiplying, buying houses, cars, what ever you're doing and when you're told about God, religion, life... You say, I don't have time for that. In a matter of fact, I don't believe in God... Science is so sophisticated that, I think they're at a verge of being able to solve the whole thing of death soon...

See how arrogant people can be. Until they visit the funeral house. After there, if you've the guts, if you're able to do so, you go to the grave and you say to yourself, is that it? I mean fifty, sixty years, strength, struggling, stealing, fornicating...

This is the end of it? Is this what gonna happen to me?
Are they gonna be dropping me into a hole in a ground. The same hole the cat digs after it deficate, just a little deeper though, but for the same reason. The cat digs and covers because it has dignity, something human beings don't seem to have.

You and I, will go into that hole and people will be crying, pulling their heads, screaming, almost acting like they're falling or jumping in with you, not really though. It's only act because no one is going to jump in and stay in there because they don't love you that much. And after the shoveling, they 'll fill it up and leave you there. Everybody will go back to their places.

So if that woman who died has a husband, somebody is gonna marry him and vice versa. It really means after they've walked away from that grave. It's over. What about the person in the grave? What's happening?

To be continued...
