From the cycle "From the different point of view"
The leading cause of death is life, its mortality rate is 100%.
You have to die, to say good-bye to everything you love and cherish.
And don’t expect a lullaby when it will be your time to perish.
Don’t ask “to be or not to be”, do not pretend to be immortal,
Just wait a bit and – c’est la vie - you will be right at death’s main portal.
Don’t be afraid of a skeleton! You always carry one - your own
Hard bone, not shown until you’re gone, then your soft cover will be blown.
Don’t mess with death, don’t hide address–death will deliver mortal blow.
Death does not ask, death does not guess, death knows–life is a death row.
There is no court and no appeal - death always gets away with murder.
You’ll end up picking up death’s bill for life that you did never order.
You do have reasons to lament - the rumor is death is not pleasant,
Your body is not yours - you rent, death sentence was your birthday present…
But what’s the point to cry and whine about cruel death? Save tears.
Death does turn water into wine - life tastes so good when your death nears!
Life is bullish, death is bearish, smart or foolish you will perish.
Life is bullish, death is bearish, man or woman you will perish.
Life is bullish, death is bearish, rich or poor you will perish...
