JUST ASKING

Why is the desire to survive

so strong?

 

When someone passes,

"they are going to a better place"

is the song.

 

Does this seem wrong?

 

It's confussing

if nothing else...

 

Mammals of every sort

fight to the death 

to support

their life.

 

Why fight

for your life

 

Why cry

when others die

 

Isn't going to a better place...

 

Better?

 

Just asking.
