What is death for the beholder?
What is death for the dying?
A weight beyond knowledge or understanding.
A pain for the self-asserting ego, for the one;
For the other, silence, peace and nothingness.
Yet the one feels his pride in anger
And in his mind he does not accept
That beyond death nothing should arise
And that beyond death
There should be only death
The other, in his silence
In his unkowing majesty feels
He feels nothing, he knows nothing,
Because death is death
And life without death is only emptiness.
