This is what you should know whenever
You wake up. Many people, human beings,
Members of your species perished
While you slept, some by violence, some
By starvation, some by sudden disease,
Most by finally falling apart. Many people
Are dying as you dress and more will die
All through your day, even if you get through
Without being close to any death yourself.
And while everyone is dying even more
Are being born who will one day all die, too.
That's what you should know whenever
You wake, whenever you worry, whenever
You twitch with thoughts of your own death.
