All men must die.
Such a fact of life,
we fervently neglect.
Out of sight,
out of mind.
But what’s swept under the carpet
is what makes us fall.
There is no
escaping death.
An accident.
A suicide or homicide.
An unexpected illness.
A protracted disease.
Old age.
Despite all our efforts,
there are only so few exits,
and one of them we must take.
All men must die.
A simple truth.
‘Valar morghulis’ is taken from George R. R. Martin’s book, A Clash of Kings.
