Varying degrees of delaying the inevitable (Life)

 The human goal, or the human skillset?

Acceptance vs. Defiance? 

Do you try to outrun it

as if birth is the start of a race...

but birth is more like a jail break

and death is the hounds you can't outrun 

because they never lose your scent

Run the gauntlet, they say...

No. Smell the roses, the others say...

Try them both, I say. 

We all get to where we are going. 

It's the only place we can go.
