DAY I DIED [ part one]
The day I died
You didn't care
To shed a tear
I know that I arise
From my coffin often
What's my origin
My family will tell you
Even my casket
If you ask it
Will tell you
The story
Of the boy
Who bled poetry
Who read poetry
Who
Is poetry
Who lived poetry
Don't pour dirt
Over my casket
Just pour
Nouns
Verbs
Pronouns
And word sounds
[Bell tolls]
I shall
Arise
I shall arise
I shall arise
Only to live
To write again
[Bell tolls 3x]
