How To Stop Swift and Stealthy Time That Brings Death

How to stop swift and stealthy time that brings death? Must we think only of victories, not defeats and deny that all we posses will be lost as wealth? Disease and age are our enemies...doesn't health control heartbeats? Spread those tables and enjoy your food and wine, dance and sing when sadness knocks, indulge in a life simply divine! Should we live in the moment as the ancient Romans did indeed: constantly thinking of invincibility and immortality... shrugging off days and years of dire uncertainty; wouldn't it be absurd to embody the essence of their creed? In South Africa Lekker is a portent of good as the word, " Omens " is; try to include it in your daily speech and write yourself a funny phrase! Some may say, " It's madness! " and laugh as a delirious Macbeth; others will accept it and suddenly forget that they are going to die by contemplating this motto," How to stop swift and stealthy time that brings death? " God's curse on the human race can be undone, if we don't believe Satan's lie! How to stop swift and stealthy time that brings death? Isn't it an impossible wish for all the living who can't escape reality? Although science offers much hope with their findings on longevity... we are bound for our graves without a single breath!
