Mourning

All on earth will mourn, for all alive will die, and the earth won’t mind while we sit aside and cry. The young, the old, all alive will die, and the earth won’t mind while we sit aside and cry. The poor, the rich, all alive will die, and the earth won’t mind while we sit aside and cry. The man, the monkey, all alive will die, and the earth won’t mind while we sit aside and cry. The sleepless, the wakeful, all alive will die, and the earth won’t mind while we sit aside and cry. Father, mother, child, all alive will die, and the earth won’t mind while we sit aside and cry. Work hard, love well, for all alive will die. While we sit aside and cry, the earth doesn’t mind.
