Life is suffering says the Buddha.

Why celebrate life when it is our birth into death?

Ejected from the amniotic sac of the universe

Our tie to the placenta of nothingness severed at the belly button.

Why celebrate life when it is only the beginning of death?

From an embryo we work the land until Death swings its scythe turning all of our efforts into chaff.

But we can’t reap our harvest as the grain of life is no longer for us.

As we have return to the cosmic womb,

Emancipated from desire.

I say celebrate death as we can once again return to our mother.
