Is Dying Ugly? (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera

Is dying beautiful? Is dying rich And is it fair? Will better dead dolls Sit and wonder what it's like To live and to love and to perish? To care? Is dying strong? Is wondering whether It is Or it isn't The point? Dying is dying Dying is plain Dying is being born I believe And I hope for all worth doing so That dying is ugly For if it is I wouldn't wonder much.
