Why do people die,
when they have something to live for?
And why do people live,
when they have something to die for?
A woman dies whe she has
children to live for,
And a daughter lives when she has
her brother to die for.
The woman dies of illness,
while her children wander homeless.
The daughter lives in sorrow,
because she could not save her brother's life.
The woman lived in poverty,
so she had no money for doctor or medicine.
The daughter loved her brother,
but it was not quite enough.
Both outcomes are sad.
The children live homeless.
The daughter is depressed
In the end, they die.

And why do people live,

And a daughter lives when she has

The woman dies of illness,
while her children wander homeless.
The daughter lives in sorrow,
because she could not save her brother's life.
The woman lived in poverty,

The daughter loved her brother,
but it was not quite enough.
Both outcomes are sad.
The children live homeless.
The daughter is depressed
In the end, they die.
