when the earth trembles, it’s not just an earthquake:

when the earth trembles, it’s not just an earthquake:
but some huge sleeping serpent beginning to wake.

the time of reckoning has come when buildings wobble:
what lies deep within is promising to make trouble!

now is the time to make friends with a fiery dragon;
and now the time for deadly fun to brilliantly begin.

how you think and act at the time of present death,
makes a difference with how you breathe your last breath.

the point is to always be prepared to happily die;
karma will be plowed back under to sprout and thrive.

life chases death just as much as death chases life:
karma slits your throat but you, then thirst for the knife!

darvish has carefully considered the power of snakes;
he would rather die first- and then with laughter shake!
