Who Dies Next
Bold black bald
took rash steps
hm hm hm
who lives death,
thumps own grave
who dies next?
you you you
Six feet thus.
I fear not!
if eight feet tall.
sit! stand not
In our loss
two graves dug
don't be lost
our bones rust
mixed sand dust.
Infant love,
grown hate_thread¿
if not curse
who hates love
My charm divines¿ not
who lives long?
old or youth, no one knows
like today
who no_one¿ knew.
young brethren,
fake not sage
seek refuge
these mistakes,
I once made.
