DEATH is stronger than all the governments because <br /> the governments are men and men die and then <br /> death laughs: Now you see 'em, now you don't. <br /> Death is stronger than all proud men and so death <br /> snips proud men on the nose, throws a pair of <br /> dice and says: Read 'em and weep. <br /> Death sends a radiogram every day: When I want <br /> you I'll drop in--and then one day he comes with a <br /> master-key and lets himself in and says: We'll <br /> go now. <br /> Death is a nurse mother with big arms: 'Twon't hurt <br /> you at all; it's your time now; just need a <br /> long sleep, child; what have you had anyhow <br /> better than sleep?<br /><br />Carl Sandburg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-snips-proud-men/
