Impasse

When you come to a wall,
you scale it,

When you come to a mountain,
you climb it,

When you come to an ocean,
you sail it,

When you come to a jungle,
you explore it,

When you come to a forest,
you level it,

When you come to a universe,
you trek it,

When you come to a war,
you conquer it,

When you come to death's impasse,
you do not pass beyond it.
