Fear Of Death

Fear of your death guarantees life for yourself,
Dilating the years, wholesome of course.
This is not subversion nor distress, but both
Of the talents, called the genders.
To blemish this desire for life is to involve death
As the destruction of feeding habits can assert.
May your eyes speak holiness, let piety
Be the awe of your youth, and the youth be special.
Fear of this lively subject carries disgrace
For the danger of existence shall marry with everything.
