We're All Going to Die!

1. Allow me a moment
2.  to clear the confusion:
3. We're all going to die,
4.  it's a foregone conclusion.
5. It's really a question of "when?"
6.  and not "if?",
7. And what is the cause
8.  that will render you stiff?
   
   
9. We're all going to die
10.  but not on the same day,
11. And not the same method -
12.  we'll find our own way.
13. Accepting this truth
14.  you'll achieve inner zen:
15. We're all going to die,
16.  it's a question of when.
17. (And how.)
