Sonnet 140
Laijon Liu 20160704
Dying men only want to do good things
Like visit relatives, friends, or some places special
Finish their projects, duty and do some cleaning
Settle all debts, or even give more to charity
Life to this world like unfinished painting
That music sheets must be complete
There are many things to say, to write
Like apologies, love letters, and best wishes
I’m not living up to my potential, toward death
I still hate the world and hold grudges
True, only near death experience can change men
So they know life only deserves good, not ill-wresting
Dying make us smart and brave
We don’t waste time, nor hang on bitterness
