The Great Umpire

Dedicated To The Great Umpire "DEATH".

Here's to death, you whom has brought fear in the hearts of many and an end to all inequities, I salute you. Even tough your duty is not eulogized, but yet if it were not for your indispensable chore, pain an suffering would have infinitely reigned.

Death is the end of all pain. This life is pain. I respect your respect for death (overuse of the word respect hah). I've never really thought of it that way. People fear death and live their lives trying to prolong life when in reality...death is what frees us of our earthly bonds. the pain, hate, greed, lust...all ends with death.

No One knows the time of death. It is quite interesting to the soul.
" You are also like me
One day...
The shirt on the stand!"

This is my Haiku....Ka Na Kalyan.

Love the rawness

[Katherine Wyatt]

Death is the great opportunity for us to remake ourselves once again.. I love this!

[Hanan_Maliah]

A small ode with such magnitude that I am now a fan...I like how you charge death with it's very own responsibility of cleansing our society...death doth wait for no one...but to fear a certain fact of life is a waste of energy you could use to live another day...

I love the food for thought that you lay out! Death is always givin a bad name,
feared because it ends things, but the things that it ends is actually the stuff that
we work to ease the whole time we're alive! haha! This is nicely put, very nicely put

[Hotaru Miyuki]

awesome! i like how you made death sound like an umpire that rules! nice job!

Death is a balancer and as a character has not seen play much: Death Takes A Holiday, Bill & Ted's Bogus Adventure, and Meet Joe Black.

Eulogizing death is an interesting take. It subsumes "Death" as an entity; rather old Europe with that. The ending is weak but I see the fianlity of your statement made. Play on the fear of death and the inexorable path or cycle of death. Going Brahman, death would become a cyclic visit on the path of perfection. Going western Asian, death becomes a place of suffering and torment for a life illived. Going Euro, death can be seen as a welcomed relief or the precursor of unending torment. I see where you are going with it. I just think you could have made a stronger statement therefore case for your argument.

Why didn't think of that? You have a way with creating I'm impressed and I enjoy reading your stuff :) Cheers
