Life, Death And Immortality
A blessing, a curse, and a dream
All of them have a different meaning for each being
Life and immortality a curse for the ones who wish for death
Death a curse for those who fear it
Immortality a blessing until you see its flaws
Old age is a blessing yet a curse
You can pass on your wisdom to the new generation
You also slowly feel your body and mind slip away
Death is the same
A blessing for those in pain
And a curse for those who are left without you
Immortality unlike the other yet the same
You are cursed to live watching those you love slowly wither
But you are able to pass on your wisdom to the new generations
Though with time you would surely wish for death
All of them are entwined no matter how different they seem
Just as is the human race
All different yet the same
Rich or poor
Wise or ignorant
We are all intertwined
All of them have a different meaning for each being

This insightful piece captures very well the ambivalence that we feel about the issues of life, death, getting older, and immortality.
Especially I like the comarison of your abstract comparisons of life, death, and immortality with the concretes of rich, poor, wise, and ignorant. How we are all intertwined. Very insightful!
