They Say

They say

When you die

That your whole life flashes

Before your eyes.

 

But I say

Your whole death

Flashes before your eyes

Even as you are alive.

 

It’s a trick

Life must be cheated

We must live and survive

So what is a sleight of hand

If it gives us a few yards of space?

    I think and belief, that the real life starts after death ………….

  2. Jo P says

    exactly, that is the ”cheat” life lives about, filling-in spaces, getting out from them

  3. Lissome Lady says

    It depends on the angle from which we see the life… But very nice thoughts indeed :)

  4. Tammanna says

    Sure life is a card game and we are all trying to cheat

  5. PGR NAIR says

    liked it…it is exactly cheating that gives that extra space to live on in this world….Those who cheat never allow any flashback..that is a trick we have to learn…he.he

    Most of the time we are able to live only if we choose selective amnesia and keep ignoring that truth. But don”t we really begin to live when we begin to see it constantly , instead of as occasional flashes?. I feel the way we live our lives would be a lot different then. Not necessarily as something which depresses us and makes us desperate and vulnerable, but in a way that urges us to treasure each moment and fill it with the best that is in us.
