So deep and vast as a fathomless ocean
So full of spiraling eddies and currents
Who can fathom its horrendous depths?
Its hidden recesses and crevices are inhabitable
Oh death!
Everyday your jaws are ready to devour
Rich and poor alike
Through accidents and brutality of wars
Diseases and unknown menaces
You call forth your victims!
Whatever that will kill me
Iam dead yet I live
Everyday we face death
To live or to die
Whatever that will kill us!
Blessed be the womb that gave us life
But who knew this too was a grave?
We emerged out as veterans of war
Now we have to face grave again
In triumphal procession we live again!
Each morning let the sun give us hope
Even though those we once loved are no more
Yet we know in our hearts they live forever
Life will swallow whatever that kills me and you
Let us live!
