"Death is a destination we all share."


Do you not realize that we are the same?
Do you forget that we feel the same pain?
If we feel the same, why then breed such shame?
Breeding such shame, you know, will bring no gain.

You are like an old Alzheimer’s patient,
Forgetting everything I may have told.
You only contribute to frustration,
Embarrasing me with your words, blindfold.

How could you forget our five-hundredth-day,
Telling me that it is not a big deal?
Stop treating me like a random child’s play,
Leaving me a scar, never to be healed.


Sorry for saying your mind is a sieve;
We should all agree to live and let live.
