Today is a very good day to die. Every living thing is harmony with me. Every voice sings a chorus within me. All beauty has come to rest in my eyes. All bad thoughts has departed from me. Today is a very good day to die. My land is peaceful around me. My fields have been turned for the lest time. My house filled with laughter. My children have come home. Yes,today is a very good day to die.
