The Stillborn One (Full-lengthEpitaph)

A life free of guilt exists when
The eye fights daylight yet unseen.
A book with not a page written
Means hope yet sometimes to be

(The) Stillborn One. Born Dead.
(The) Stillborn One. Dead.

When dawn and sunset coincide,
The essence of a day is non-existent,
Lifeless...

Deyhdrated soils may not recover
From the drought they might be plagued with,
Prepare to be...

...The Stillborn One...
...The Stillborn One...

When dawn and sunset coincide,
The essence of a day is non-existent,
Lifeless...

Dehydrated soils may not recover
From the drought they might be plagued with,
Prepare to be...
