Battle It Out

"...They battle it out with the dying..."

Battle It Out

Battle it out with
the dead, and do not
die of shame, because
a corpse cannot fight
back like two corpses,
who return to life by
rubbing against each
other. They battle it
out with the dying,
who are not aware they
are dying. Death is not
something to take for
granted. Its sad countenance
has taken millions of us
who have yet begun to
battle for their lives.
