~Jackson Kilmartin Fenn Class 2023

A bullet pierces a human torso
A lady with cancer breathes her last breath
A car rams a person crossing the street
A building collapses on an old man
A tsunami washes away all life
A shark gobbles up a little child
A man poisons the small fat lady’s drink
A depressed young girl jumps off a building 
A kidnapper chokes out a small person
A man starves to death in the woods alone

Everyone lays to finally rest
Inevitable fate, the great unknown
We journey on, uncertain of our end
A mystery we cannot help but stare
All its secrets lie beyond human sight
A mystery so great we can’t perceive
Death’s presence is felt though not seen or heard
150,000 deaths per day
It is an unavoidable future 
Everyone will breath their final breath

To think about death is a scary thing
A dread we are all very much dreading
The thought of it can make you very sick
Death is a scary thing to contemplate
At one point or another life will end
