I looked this poem up so I could easily copy it without needing to type it all out.

I just noticed that the person who posted it EDITED the poem!!! They apparently were uncomfortable with the sticky bit about Death.

I’ve fixed it, here’s what the final lines say, “Why not forget Death, the sharpened blade. Reach in,
take whatever falls into your hand.”

The website I found it on changed it to this, “Why not reach in, take whatever falls into your hand.”

I loathe this behavior! Leave people’s writing alone, FFS!
