Last Words

Last words…
Last words have an ability to undo misconceptions
Last words can make your death slower or faster
Last words heal the dying more than the living
Last words can sever or create intergenerational bonds
Last words can give you answers or create more questions
Last words can be too long when you wish eternal silence
Last words can be too short if you’ve never listened before
Last words power lay with whoever gives them power
Last words evaporate with the soul of the speaker
Last words are just words, the power given by time

Last words are death entrance speech
