Death Be Not Proud

First off I found the wording of this poem to be very annoying and often had to re-read sentences to understand them. It starts off with a man who is dieing and his reluctance to give up. Even though the man admits he knows death must be faced by all, he refuses to make it a negative thing. He views death not as the end of his being but as a sleep in which starts in a corrupt world and results in a better place. I liked this poem because in the face of death this man refuses to leave this world in a negative way and insists that his death will have a positive outcome.
