HAYDUKE LIVES WITHIN US ALL by Dan Lont

Hello everyone! Tonight as I was sorting through some of my collections of poetry,funny little sayings and just things that I for some reason or another thought that I might want to return to someday and I came across this poem. Somber as it may sound for some reason it seemed to have some sort of meaning for me at the time I read it and I do remember that it made me stop and think about different aspects of my own life and wonder how the words would in fact affect others that took the time to read them. I would like to share it with you and maybe get your input on what the poet has written.

                                     HAYDUKE LIVES WITHIN US ALL               

                                            people seem to fear death
  •                                         though as time passes
                                                                  teeth decay                           
  •                                      bones become brittle and                                                     
                                             life begins to fade to black
  •                                              the cycle continues
                                                          if the cause is just

                                                     if the heart is content    
       
  •                         death is merely a matter of choice
                                                           so roll the dice

    DEAR MARIJO;

    So nice to see you at my post....thank you for you kind words and great insite!! I feel, maybe if we all go one more step beyond what we think our limit is, and reach out to each other...trying to bring a little sunlight or hope....maybe compassion will win out!! Lets hope so!
