That's the kind

That's the kind
of being that I am:
seeing that I am.

And you...what do you
call your life?
What words do you use?

If I am killed by a gasoline bomb
in the streets of any city, or,
starve to death in any country,

how does that make me
different from you? And if I
achieve great deeds

and have a life acclaimed
how does that make
me different from you?

I die now.
That makes us even.
