Walking Corpse
A man does not die because
there is no ether
A man does not die because there is
no life
A man does die unless his soul wills
A man only dies when he forgets to
live.
For death of flesh is no death
But when a man's soul does,he dies.
For the number of years,men crave
for
Does not count us life,years are
meaningless
What counts is how much life where
in it
For to die for what one stands for is
honour
To die for your dreams and believes
is joy
If a man died for these reasons let it
be ok
For he died not in loss, nor in vain
Let it be heard then that men died
A death of gain,a death of choice
A death of dreams realised
A death of no fears no regrets
For he has lived life.
