IN THE FACE OF DEATH

God the giver of life,

Put a sense of realization,

Sense of awareness.

For us, the created.

Our sensation of consciousness.

Depend on our response,

To our environment,

We may get arrogant.

Our arrogance and pride,

May become greed,

Our greed

We may think untouchable.

How do we feel

In the face of death,

When all we’ve managed

Are impure

In the face of death,

We remember how weak, we are

Humans after all;

Mere mortals

As fear creeps into us,

So come our anger,

Frustration, before we surrender

Our spirits to God eternal.
