The Path of Death

If viewing on a phone my works are better when it is turned on it's side!

What comes to mind when you read the title?
Is it a forlorn path with thorns and sticks to catch your ankles?
Can you hear the beasts in the distance waiting to tear you apart?
Are there blood splattered trees?
Is anyone on the path?
Is it over grown?
Are there spiders, rats, snakes and all manner of creeping things?
Does the path go up, is it steep?

I will now tell you the solid truth
The path of death is a beautiful, Stately boulevard
Its width has no measure, the pavers are smooth and level
The multitude are walking this path and it’s not crowded
All your friends, family, and acquaintances are walking with you
The sun gently warms your back, but doesn’t burn you
It slopes downward almost imperceptibly, it makes for easy walking
It is perfectly clean, nothing off putting

Every now and again your eye will glimpse the other path
The forlorn one; that one is hard, very steep
Few acknowledge its existence, let alone walk it
It will be a difficult journey
A lifetime of struggle and strife
You will be mocked, abandoned, hunted, and killed
At the end of this path is JOY, SATISFACTION, REWARD, and UNENDING LIFE!!!
