Analysis of Death Forgotten



Upon the metal bed I sleep anew
The trust of my life given
Hope of continued living
Life placed in the hands of the man in blue

Halfway through the neural re-creation
My breath where has it gone to
Not seen by the man in blue
My body and soul have separation

Now around me I see bodies of blue
I feel as light as air
My view down is without care
Where am I to go what am I to do

Immediately my breathing returns
I awake dizzy and sick
Not remembering one tick
'Till years later a doctor helps me learn

There is life after death this to be sure
What is entailed for you
The same as me or life new
Question - Did you leave it abhorred or pure?
