Kiss --- Life Or Death
Kites and vultures fight in the twilight sky
In cabin number two of the clinic close by
Smiles a new baby from the charming baby cot
So sweet, exults the mom and cuddles her a lot
In cabin number ten a boy is passing away
Gasping sound, shaky finger, disquieting decay
It is doubtful if till evening the poor life will stay
In a fog before his eyes faces fading away
Darkness lingers on every light almost everyday
We can never touch again what death has taken away
But live or die the world always looks the other way
Finally it is life that invariably holds sway
Dim daylight dwindles as the daisies daily die
However death may appall it can never stop the ball
Behind the dove’s mourning call life and hope walk tall
Kites and vultures fight in the twilight sky
