Leave it to Nature to claim from you life's breath
And leave it to patriots to celebrate war and to glorify death
But live for as long as you possibly can
Live and die hopefully without any pain as an old woman or man
The praises of dead heroes are often sung
But it is only a fallacy that only the good die young
Like every old person is not a sage
Goodness too to it does not have an age
That life is your greatest gift as a truism remain
Of the meaning in this does one need to explain
A heroic death is based on a lie
You can love your Country and for it not die
Of life for the soul after bodily death not for me to say
I only feel grateful to be living today.
