Walking Corpse

A man does not die because there is no ether A man does not die because there is no life A man does die unless his soul wills A man only dies when he forgets to live. For death of flesh is no death But when a man's soul does,he dies. For the number of years,men crave for Does not count us life,years are meaningless What counts is how much life where in it For to die for what one stands for is honour To die for your dreams and believes is joy If a man died for these reasons let it be ok For he died not in loss, nor in vain Let it be heard then that men died A death of gain,a death of choice A death of dreams realised A death of no fears no regrets For he has lived life.
