6326. WHY MUST WE DIE?

WHY MUST WE DIE?
The whole symphony went down in flames  
-  the orchestra and all. I'd written it in fire, 
and it burned itself out. Why must we die?
-
This building I was in, it sunk down in the
mud  -  tenth floor windows and thick mud
up to my neck. Why then must we die?
-
Can any monkey tell me? Can I find a parson
or a rabbi steed to impart back to me what
I should already know - Why must we die?
-
I asked my zen friend Ken; he told me we
are already dead so what's the difference?
It wasn't that I said. Why must we die?
-
I looked into a glass globe someone had
left upon the table. Pretty object, nice
try  :  why then must we die?
