To know the moment of your death and the method
Is that a blessing or a curse?

for the soldier who charges the fates
for the murderer, the gallows awaits

for one it's an accident
for another, it's planned and sent

for some, it's death at birth
some don't know what it's worth

But to know the moment
to know the method

Is it a blessing or a curse?

good piece, lr.

hm, to know...?

I'd rather not know actually. I already feel that I'm not living my life to the fullest. Imagine how much more acutely I'd feel that if I knew that my time was limited to a few months or a year at most?!

Although, I read an article a few months back about this subject. Well, related to the subject. All these people know their "expiry date", all terminal cases... the article was about "what do you do when you find out...?" you know, do you start to do all the things on your "list"? No. all the people in this article... they just lived their daily lives as usual. but, the key difference was that they enjoyed all the little details more. the taste of the tea in the morning. the feel of a summer breeze (assuming that they have another summer in them). the way the dog farts and them looks at you with a cocked head as if to ask if you did it....

this has been hard for me

I'm still working my way through it

this guy knows that he is going to die at 6:00 PM tonight. Short fuse.
