Life.
Heed its warning.
It always conceals death at its end,
and not even the fortunate escape its wrath.
The potency of a single accident can be overwhelming,
amputation of body parts,
decreption of the body after death,
some can endure, others are hollow.
There are no exceptions,
sometimes its through rivalry,
could even be from accidents at a burlesque show,
death will eventually seize the soul.
Knowledge illuminates the soul,
weather the person is common, a prodigy, or even a prince,
some abhor the knowledge of death,
others accept it as another of the luscious life parts.
Life is scholastic,
one can abdicate from it how it works,
and some pious the truth,
such as the embracement death.
But that's just life.
Author notes
ok i used all of them. i think i might have the wrong forms of the word, like pious, or piousness, or which ways its supposed to be said in that tense, but i put it as i saw the words fit. i tried to put it in as it goes but not always can it be done easily.

Yeah, there is a couple incontinueties within the poem, but the overall good job. You recieve your brownie points, because I understood the meaning behind it, even if you used pious in an interesting way. You also used weather when you meant whether. Common mistake, but it has a different meaning to the line. Very deep, with good descriptions! Thank you for entering my contest and good luck!
