#1 Cause Of Death

The number one cause of death,

is not cancer, nor sickness,

illness, nor fate.

It’s something we can’t control.

Something we can’t see,

or diagnose.

Something we all have.

The number one cause of death,

is life.

Very clever poem it's the wide way of looking at life and death instead of the normal cheers and you can catch me too on this site as shell trees..

this was sent to me...by a bot i assume...

i think it goes further than this...the number one cause of death is life that doesnt find its own fruition...
who can know how to be when every other person around us willing follows others to describe themselves...

its dangerous to be what you are individually...to seek your own counsel along with all the other background noise
im proud of being me but its a strain sometimes...
but its life giving as well...
