Death

Merrily, we do this and that,
While another, awaits death
In a state I know not,
A state I wish never to live through
Or watch another do the same

Eating gaily in ignorance,
Eating in a state of knowing.
Of something many need to know, in dismay
Which others reject, in the same.
And yet, there are others who care not for it
Or so, they would have it seem.
