In the End

 Some die heroically
 on the battlefield
 others defiantly
 by jumping off a cliff
 but many die
 unexpectedly
 in their sleep
 without knowing it
 while a great number
 go in fear
 and cowardliness
 in hospital wards
 very few depart
 unashamedly
 without resisting
 but me I want to die
 just like that
 without enthusiasm
