All the Earth is a Grave – King Nezahualcoyotl (Ancient Aztec Poem)

Filled are the bowels of the earth
with pestilential dust once flesh and bone,
once animate bodies of man who sat upon thrones,
presided in council, commanded armies, possessed treasure, destroyed temples,
exulted in their pride, majesty, fortune, praise and power.
Vanished are these glories, just as the fearful smoke vanishes
that belches forth from the infernal fires of Popocatepetl.
Nothing recalls them but the painted page. ❤️❤️

From the moment of conception you are in the grave.
