Who will live and who will die,
Who after a long life, who before his time,
Who by water, who by fire,
Who by hunger, and who by thirst,
Who by the virus, who by the plague,
Who in the night time, who in the sun shine,
Who by slow decay, who by the gun,
And who shall we say is calling?
And who by something blunt, who by knife,
Who by drugs, who in her lonely sleep,
Who in the field, who by a slip,
And who by corruption, who for his greed,
And who shall we say is calling?
And who by accident, who by brave assent,
Who by fear, who in solitude,
Who by his girl’s command, who by his own hand
Who in slavery, who in power,
Who in the realms of love, and who by hatred,
And who shall we say is calling?
And who will rest, who will wander,
Who to live in harmony, who to be harried,
Who to enjoy tranquility, who to suffer,
Who to be impoverished, who to be enriched,
Who to be degraded, who to be exalted.
