Mors Vincit Omnia
Born 1959, M, from Stoke, United Kingdom![Mors Vincit Omnia](/storage/story/story_8FFED511-71AC-539D-C01E-9EE7330A9FE1-image(285x285-crop).jpeg)
Some live in the shadows, anonymous and afraid
Beaten by life, feeling alone and betrayed
Shunning all company, friendship and care
Knowing only the struggle, the hate and despair
They see death as a destination on a short rocky road
Where the burden they carry they can finally unload
So they await in their shadows and listen for the call
In death they are freed, as death conquers all
Some live in the light, confidant and strong
Buoyed by life’s energy to carry them along
With friends a’plenty, they never give way
In life’s battles they will always carry the day
For them the journey of life is what gives them breath
They cannot perceive the surety of death
So they stand righteous, unbending and tall
But finally must yield, as death conquers all
Mors Vincit Omnia(Tallisman)
Some live in the shadows, anonymous and afraid
Beaten by life, feeling alone and betrayed
Shunning all company, friendship and care
Knowing only the struggle, the hate and despair
They see death as a destination on a short rocky road
Where the burden they carry they can finally unload
So they await in their shadows and listen for the call
In death they are freed, as death conquers all
Some live in the light, confidant and strong
Buoyed by life’s energy to carry them along
With friends a’plenty, they never give way
In life’s battles they will always carry the day
For them the journey of life is what gives them breath
They cannot perceive the surety of death
So they stand righteous, unbending and tall
But finally must yield, as death conquers all

06/07/2024This is inspirational to Me. I am virtually a Hermit. I don't go out unless someone else is driving. I can empathize with this poem. It makes me feel better knowing their are others who suffer this. Congratulations of Short Story Star of the Day.
