The Case of Birth

The case of birth can’t be explained
It’s worth for its own sake 
Same goes for place of birth we gain
One time we just awake
And there we are, blazed by the light
Most usually, we cry
Not of the joy, but of the fright
That one day we shall die
And then again unconsciousness 
Delivers us to earth 
But soon we leave, back to this mess
Just by the case of birth.
