'kasa' - Life and Death 2
Man perfects precautions to Live
just to be overwhelmed by progress,
to think He can elude Death
Need not Die to feel Lifeless, for Life always finds the exit
On the battle-field called LIFE, know one kills but for SELF
When worldly Pressures cloth us in,
the Measures our LORD shall tailor to suit
GOD cries only for the Living. For the Dead are Home
whiles We Living are Truly Away from Home
Good as GOD, Bad as the devil. MAN
truly; Death is man's real motivation to Live
A Careless world cares less if you Live or Die
The Peace in war lies in the bodies laid to rest
a Torch-Bearer quenches the flame,
leaving us blind with tears
Death is know judgment upon mankind,
just a way-off Life
Death holds the Keys to unlocking
the Understanding behind Life
