DIDACTIC: "DEATH: A NECESSARY END"

Death: a necessary end

It will come at its time

No one knows when it comes 

But it must surely come.

Have you considered?

Some babies died in the womb 

Some were aborted and died prematurely 

Some died with their mothers on delivery day.

Some died in mysterious circumstances 

Some were poisoned

Some were murdered 

Some died in accidents

Some died in their sleep.

The breath in man is the life

When it ceases there is no more life

How long it will last, no one knows 

One day, it will cease

Time shall be no more.

It is a necessary end 

When it comes, no pleading 

You cannot take anything with you.

When the breath is in you 

When you have the strength to move about 

Do the best you can to sow into lives.

While you are gone,

Your legacies live on.

By what will you be remembered?

What seed are you sowing?

Are you towing the path of truth and honour?

Death is a necessary end 

It is not announced 

It will come at its own time 

Remember, there's life after life 

Eternity is real

Where will you spend eternity?

The poem “Death: A Necessary End” reflects on the certainty and unpredictability of death. It explains that death comes to everyone in different ways and at different times, regardless of age or status. The poet reminds readers that life is temporary and encourages them to live honorably, positively impact others, and leave behind good legacies. The poem also stresses the spiritual reality of eternity, urging people to think about where they will spend life after death.
