THE FEAR IN A DECEPTIVE WORLD

My biggest fear is from my imagination about what people will write concerning when a soul is gone

the lies they will say to make all feel you were good, and the wrongs they will keep and grumble to themselves instead of correcting you now

How they will publicize their intentions towards you but never care to even share an idea with you now that you still breath

How they will show off opportunities they wanted to entrust you with while in life they have never told anyone about you.

How they will think my obituary picture is an album lunch while they blink to see it's a reality of death on broadcast

How they will tell people how they loved me but have never taken a moment to send me love

How my pictures will be on profiles and status with crying emojis while now they ignore my face like a nightmare

How they will write epistles about me, talking about my passion, my writing, my words of hope, but can't reach out to me for a check.

How she will tell her friends that I was her crush but never summoned the courage to talk with me for us to be friends 

But why would life be so deceptive, bringing millions together in the name of love only when someone is gone trying to create unity in the absence of the deceased?

REMEMBER EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT IS STILL ALIVE, SHOW THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM LOVE, AND CELEBRATE WITH LOVE.

LET LOVE LEAD NOW THAT YOU ARE ALIVE

Because one day you will be gone, or they will be gone and it won't just be fears but a reality

Yours Truly
