Twins



Birth and death are twins;
 One is complementary to the other.
 Both do ever walk side by side .
 One incognito walks
 The other expresses its  living pleasure.
One is the detering hands of life
 The other  is  a sportive exposure.

 Death is soothing  dearer to  mother,
Birth and life inflict pains in all  gains.
Death is  an unspeakable spokesman,
 Life is a twittering gentle man.

 Creation has two supportive drivers
since the origin:
Body  and mind.
Death determines the renewal course
Birth is simple the outcome  of the resource.

   death ensures birth
birth guarantees death
 they are yellow and green
 they are phylosophical twins
