Life or Death?

Often I have wondered why their is a difference between life and death.
Aren't they the same in some aspects?  You live life to die, and often what is dead gives life to live.  So why do we fear death when we are constantly inside it?  What is it that makes us fear death?


Life is but a process created from dead organisms in which to reproduce and continue on.
We, as living organisms, want to live forever, afraid to leave what little we have behind.
But if all living organisms were to stop dying, wouldn't our world cease to live?

What would happen to us and all other living organisms?

Death is a cease to living in all living organism. 
We, as living organism, try to avert death....Why?  What is so wrong about being dead?
If all living organisms were dead, would our world still be here?

Without life, death wouldn't exist, but without death, life wouldn't end.
We see death as an end, and life as beginning...so what is the middle?
So what are we now?

Author notes

I want to know, are we living or dead? Life is a process created by death, and death is a process created by life...

    Humm. Well some poeple fear death because they are worried they will leave this world without making a difference also that with death comes pain somtimes.
    Well technailly we are alive as long as our heart is beating and such.But I really don't know.And death a process created by life.Well yes and no.death in something that will happen to all of us eventally.But I don't think life creats it. I think the whole point of life is a gift in which you must learn your place in the world.Life is like a big puzzel and you're a small of it that you don't know and in life you have to find you place in the big puzzel or picutre kind of.

    That's my viwes for ya.

    As far as the poem goes I think it's good.
