dying with courage is the last act
i wait to complete, emptying the body
with all its craving and envy to enjoy
the ecstasy of no more misery
then i shall join the multitude
of my ancestors hitherto have departed
to the enviable mansion; happy
they are now with no more tears, nor pain
many men and women struggle to depart
this life with ease avariciously clinging
to this world with ache; emancipation
they see not in healing death
