The ultimate question was —
What is this thing called death?
Now, a few decades later,
The ultimate question is —
What is this thing called death?
The question remains but
The tone has changed
From youthful arrogance
To modest inevitability
Then, I felt invincible
Now, I feel vulnerable
Then, I used to question,
Expecting an answer
Now, I ponder the question,
But not expecting an answer
