DOOHILEKIL LLA NI
This is in English, but written backwards, for extra contemplation time.

In all likelihood
Your death will not be dramatic
but neither will it be polite
it may rap gently at the door
tap rhythmically at the window
there will not be time to gather your belongings
or to make last minute arrangements
in all likelihood
it will be like the flicking of a switch
the turning off of a light
just a thing that is
a thing that must be
it is the natural order
and the fear that you feel for death
is quite unncecessary
the true focus should be
on the good you do
and the love you spread and leave behind
for that is where the energy
and emotion happens and is needed
the only thing that will make your exit
have meaning and affect
in all likelihood

About the Creator
Ken Donner
Been writing since I was 9 years old or so.
Can't help myself.
It's how I'm wired.
A multitude of verse.
"I may never learn to fly, but keep the sky above me open, just in case."
