Dead is Dead
Finality...
such intensity
So many wish to disclaim it
Yet dead is dead
last word's been said
attempt as you like to rename it
The gravestones
the caskets
the urns, ashes and tears
For the living to let go
so entrenched in wretched woe
find it anguish to relinquish
those we've loved so many years
Death is brutal
Death is horrid
Death is painful
Death is strife
Yet each of us will succumb
to death
When destiny ends life
LIVE
each given day
for none know of
our own demise
Yet for those who are inclined
may you prepare for a reprise
