Analysis of Lost In Jericho
Without death
life loses all beauty
Without death
life loses its way
Without death
life’s value diminished
Without death
life reasons to pray
Without death
life’s years lose their value
Without death
life’s seething refrain
Without death
life loses its prescience
Without death
—life dearth to explain
