If You Shut Your Eye to Death, Then You Shut Your Eye to Life.

There's pleasure to 

Be had in 

Those split seconds 

Of joy...

Though real life

Can be bad as pits...

...Jar us ragged,

To our roots!...

...We cannot 

Shut our eyes,

As every writer

Must atone

For not facing 

Her sore planet,

Also the greatest

King dethroned

If he shirks

From his engagement

With the one's now at 

Death's door...

If you shut your eye to 

Death, 

Then you've shut your

Eye too fast!

...No, we can't 

Shut off our eyes,

And wear the 

White-out 

Of the past.

OOH! OOH!  DON'T SHUT YOUR WINKING EYES!...

Rolled by a unheard drum...

...The World Eye wants you dead-blind...

...But you can beat them

With just one,

Plus a hand tied,

If you wanna...

...Snap out of the postcard state!...

There is pleasure

In the dying...

...For now, and always...

Catch your fate!
