Last Line: But what of that?

Last Line: But what of that?
Subject(s): Mortality
I reason, earth is short,
And anguish absolute,
And many hurt;
But what of that?
I reason, we could die :
The best vitality
Cannot excel decay ;
But what of that?
I reason that in heaven
Somehow, it will be even,
Some new equation given ;
But what of that?
