Nobody knows where
And when we will face death,
Life is full of fantasy,
Ceases us to imagine our last breath,
We speculate to reside here,
Ever, ever and forever,
Our worldly desires have no verge,
Flinches to reckon cosmically,
Our lust with the temporal region,
Holds us out from actuality,
One thing is rather realistic,
None can doubt death's certainty,
Ah! Life is nothing but an illusion,
So, let's recollect often, extinction.
