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.

You have put such minimal thought into this poem, and such minimal effort into making it a poem.
The concluding lines don't make sense.
"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." --The last dying words of Sir Donald Wolfit after one of his young actors said to him: "Sir Donald, after a life so filled with success and fame, dying must be hard"
Other last words:
"Either that wallpaper goes, or I do." ~~ Oscar Wilde, writer. "I've had eighteen straight whiskies, I think that's the record..." ~~ Dylan Thomas, poet. "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist..." (Killed in battle during US Civil War.) ~~ General John Sedgwick "Go on, get out - last words are for fools who haven't said enough." (To his housekeeper, who urged him to tell her his last words so she could write them down for posterity.) ~~ Karl Marx
If you're drunk and horny, dying looks alright, I guess.
Not my taste, babe.
