Death in Autumn
Autumn brings us changes
Leaves turn vibrant colors
Golden, yellowish, and red
How do we find such beauty
In this cycle of death?
It is all around us daily
In what we see and hear
Every beginning has an end
To enjoy a juicy steak
An unknowing bovine perishes
We are born with one certainty
Bury your head in the sand
Hind under your warm blanket
No matter how hard we try
Eventually, we will all die.
