Must you preserve?

A said to B that X is dead.

B said to C that X is dead.

C said to D and D to E thus.

The news of death spread like wildfire.

No one mourned but only spread.

Y, the wife and Z, the son

Wept to show that they were upset.

The poor X breathed his last

Thinking that he would be a loss,

At least to his family, wrongly.

Must you work hard to preserve yourself?
