This I would ask you in response, my dear old friend,
Do you sincerely think it rather matters if it's Life or Death?
We know, Life’s transient, no use to trust it much,
In Life’s embrace beware and never loose your touch.
Life, when it’s dancing, see how well it twists and bends,
Don’t put your fortune on its stake, my dear friend.
Though looking sinister to us Death makes amends,
Death may send jimjams up your spine, but it is not that bad.
In times when Life in sheer spite mistreats and shatters our lives
We summon Death to ease our pain, to come and bring us blissful rest,
This I would add as my comment to option if it's Life or Death.
