The Fear of Death

I find it weird to see people fearing,
Dreading this thing called death
In death if you are, it is not death
In death if you aren't, no one suffers
It is the familiar misery called life
That we do not want to let go of
Clinging to it as we do so fiercely
It is this trishna, this very trishna
That proves to be our undoing
Learn then we should to laugh
Not only in life but also at death.
