 Letter To Those Who Take Life


Those who take life have no understanding of the prize:
The measure, treasure, pleasure of existence’ meaning.
Those who take life too grow older,
Too regret if they are wise,
Realising one day everybody dies,
Including they themselves.


Life’s triangle from the first indrawing breath -
Birth and death
                         and all between,
One meaning being to prolong
One’s own and creatures weak and strong;
To NOT take but care for each form,
Our fellow humans the first norm.


Life, birth, death and all in between -
What comes thereafter to be seen,
The how, when to be left for then;
Is ever speculation.


Now has beauty, and our duty
Is to see and cherish every blemish,
Not diminishing the self or others. 


Love and caring, action sharing;
All you need to make life better
Is this creed and poem, a letter
Aimed at those who dare
                         take life.
Autopsy of the Soul --  Vincent Castiglia

  1. American artist Vincent Castiglia paints exclusively in human blood (iron oxide) and water on paper. "I sought the most direct and personal connection with my work, one that could not lie or be reproduced," he explained. "Although the paintings are often thematic, they are also quite visceral, and I believe it is because of this that the response has been so strong. The creative process is very honest and cathartic for me, and is an intermingling of feelings and experiences, aspirations and visions, all spontaneously congealing on the canvas."
