Strange that death does rescue you from death !
But it does - many times when life does 'wane';
Its helping hands pull you out of the depth
Of gloom, ferry you ashore the mortal main.
On steps of death does rise the life that's fallen
Being vital 'gain by your eternal being -
The seer immune to malign'd affliction
Of deprivation, sickness, disgrace and failing.
That's the death of the others - who did rule
The life, who consumed fortune by their sheer skill,
And that the death they died not minuscule
Of wretchedness your life does deathly feel.
On each 'famed death', your death to life upends;
The mighty die; to the humble, death bends.
