Euphony from Death

Life once asked Death,
“Why does everyone fear you so
When we are both one and the same?”
Death then answered,
“Time blurred the line dividing reality and fantasy.
In the eyes of the mortals,
We are as different as night and day.
You conduct a melody boasting of beauty and joy.
I conduct terror of only pain and suffering.
Mortals are foolish to fail to hear my euphony.
Only those who bear unjust and emptiness seek the me.”
