    Poem Commentary

    EVEN IF LIFE IS SHORT, IT IS OF NOTHING AS DEADLY AND DARK AS DEATH !!! AFTER ALL THERE IS SOME BRILLIANCE IN LIFE WHICH I AM PRETTY SURE DEATH LACKS !!!

    WHY ?

    why
        is   Life  a   bright-short      Day ?
    and
        Death a dreary-sure Night,
    that
        None can its vernom fight,
    and
        Nought alive has in its word a say ?

    I did not want this poem to end...I wanted more. You pose two poignant quetions. The answers to which will continue to elude humankind: Death is here to stay. Terse yet powerful. AF.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
