scary man speaks
Alex B. Diamond 1974 (Dover)
scary man speaks
what is the major difference between life and death?
sleep and awake?
heaven and hell?
night and day?
love and hate?
I don't know
but, I think that it has something to do with darkness and
light
light representing life
awareness
a conscious
see, in life we have to take chances
and there is no escape from the clutches of luck
or the cliffs of happenstance
so leap
leap in to the great hereafter
oblivion in the mists of eternity
this is not a dream
this is life
unbound...
