Memento Mori

All things on this earth are timed

How can one forever last?

Why should our words be filtered,

If forgotten by time’s craft?

​

Currents sweep away the sand,

All birds by the winds are swayed,

Wouldn’t earth be so bland

If all things had been placed?

​

So ne‘er shy away from thoughts,

Let all of them to be heard,

For it is speech, the lord brought

Upon his flawed, human herd,

​

Remember that you will die.
