O Death

The worry of Death to many in the west seems to have become almost non fiction. Maybe that is why this version of O Death sends more chills down my spine than any other. Though it still has plenty to say, we hear from Death less often now that machines are the lions...

"Machines were mice and men were lions once upon a time, but now that it's the opposite it's twice upon a time." - Moondog (1916-1999)

Twice upon a time is becoming our collective metaphor, our modern day folklore. It's why we complain when the days are long and the reason nature frowns upon the death of the strong. 

A Life Without Fear often proves more challenging than it first appears.
