Transcendental Sonnet #1254:
To Hell with Death
non moriar sed vivam
The wheel of karma turns again
Around and round and down the drain
Another misadventure lost
Yet God forgives nor counts the cost
Against a lonely fool like me
Who wanted a new family
And got his teeth kicked in instead
But folks it still beats being dead
As long as I am still around
I think some meaning might be found
I have to try I need to know
Or leave you laughing when I go
And I forget and I forgive
To hell with death: I want to live
