Death is Wiser



-whats it that has life?
-which does not play
-to the gallery of folly?
-the dancing species in the waters;
-the vagabonds animals of the forests;
-the bubbling birds in the cloudy skies;
-the little ants and organisms in the air;
-the mortals of this very strange earth;
-all, falls into the rolicking hands of death;
-that comes around often like a friend;
-to give them all the peace they seek;
-but which is often very far from reach..
-this is why rest in peace has become..
-the common mantra of their graves!
-just because death was wiser than all!
