In our own Play

I realised something true  this very day
My defences were so strong I never thought
All of us , like Jesus,  end  our Play

If we are religious we might pray
Or offer consolation where it’s sought
I realised  death is real  this sunny day

We play the lead  and do not wish to pay
We may be frenzied in our appetites
Denying we shall   die  in our own Play

The vital  integrative force   must fly
We fall to  pieces in  love’s golden  light
I realised  death is   happening every day

Our heads turn round, the vision to deny
As if the true will be a nasty sight
But that won’t  stop our death in our own Play

Live by giving enemies no slight
Kant’s imperative seems wise and right
My mind discovered on  this  cloudy day
All of us  will fall  in our own Play
