To learn just who you are
\nLook at tombs as you walk.
\nThey hold the bones, the powdered dust
\nOf kings and tyrants, of wise men,
\nOf men proud of their noble fathers,
\nOf men glorying in their gold and their glory
\nAnd their beautiful bodies.
\nAnd when the time came
\nWhat protected them against death?
\nNothing. Everyone living dies the same death.
\nLook at tombs and learn just who you are.<\/p>\n
