Example :

"I'm walking down a narrow road. Wait, no, I'm walking down THE narrow road. It has been mentioned much before, and it determines everything. Ahead lies a fork in the road. Screeching whispers to one, celebratory laughter to the other. In the middle there was a woman. Little did I know, that woman was my mother. A trickle of sweat, a blank expression. I asked the woman where to go. She knew which path led to where. My mother, she loved me very much.. She moved her hand to the right. I didn't know how hard this decision was for her. If she chose one path, I'd live in eternal happiness, without her. Imagine her pain. Seeing her son celebrating, moving on without her. And to the other path, was a great darkness. In that darkness, I would suffer forever, but, with her. I walked down the path to the right. Which path did I choose? Ponder about that."

"I looked up to the sky.
And i asked God why?
He replied...
Without Life there is no purpose.
Without Life there is no Earth.
Without Life there is no BYOND.
And i said...
So its your fault there's trolls on byond!"

Enjoy!

"Waging wars and corrupted man
Back and forth of this worlds land

Death above and death below
Dead is the dove and lives the crow

Corpses fall upon one another while politics cower in fear
Soon this world will be no more alas end is near"

The word "Death" is so overused in poetry today (thank you emos) that I consider any usage of it to be considerably bad, unless used extremely, extremely well.

As for the topic, I'm reminded of the song "Life" by Devin Townsend.

The opening verse of said song:
"My life, is all that I've known, and it's all that keeps me here. My time is all that I own, so I wont let it slip away. My life."
