"Aubade" by Philip Larkin

"Aubade" is a poem written by Philip Larkin which indicates our everyday life related to death. The poem starts with the sentence "I work all day, and get half-drunk at night." and thinking where and when he will die. He is showing a fear of dying and is aware that death is inevitable. Death is the only phenomenon that doesn't care if you are good person or bad, rich or poor, thin or fat, one day sooner or later we will die. This poem pushed me to think how people despite the fact that they know one day they will die, they continue everyday routine of living, wake up in the morning, do our ordinary things and sometimes forget the fact that all of us will go in the same direction, towards death.
