The Incurable Decay That Is Called 'Life'

What is this incurable decay that is called life
What gives us the right to opinions ?
We knew nothing when we were born;
We'll know less just before we fall to our death

Wisdom comes from life and death is part of wisdom. As learned from Angelic wars.

We will however realize how little we know and will be that much more impressed when we meet God. Good poem.
