imperium II

		how can there be pleasure?
		how can there be joy?
		when the whole world is burning
		what joy is there in this body
		seeing these discarded bones
		scattered here and there
		where they were tossed upon the ground
		through the same moment of the night
		humans first emptied in the womb
		the journey of their life to death begins
		once gone there is no turning back
		at daybreak many people are seen
		at evening one is gone from sight
		at evening many people can be seen
		next morning one is gone from sight
		nights are long when one can't sleep
		the road seems long for those exhausted
		life's obliterated so soon 

		some die when they are in the womb
		some on the ground where they were born
		some die just as they learn to crawl
		and some just as they learn to walk
		some die old and some die young
		some in the very prime of life 

		all people pass away in term
		just like the fall of ripened fruit
		as all ripe fruit always falls and rots
		so all who are born by their deaths destroyed
		collection in the end dispersed
		whatever rises must also fall
		all meetings end in seperation
		the final end of life is death 

		sorrow arises from all beauty
		from all beauty arises fear
		when all beauty is given up
		neither sorrow nor fear exist
		and the law is Imperium
		imperium imperium imperium imperium
