"Behind Every Man Now Alive
Stands Thirty Ghosts,
for that is the Ratio by which
the Dead outNumber the Living.
Since the Dawn of Time,
roughly a Hundred Billion Human Beings
have Walked this Planet Earth.
Now this is an Interesting Number,
for by Curious Coincidence
there are approximately
a Hundred Billion Stars
in our Local Universe,
the Milky Way.
So for Every Man who has Ever Lived,
in this Universe there Shines a Star."
