Did U C What Train That Kid Got Under

DID YOU SEE WHAT TRAIN THAT LITTLE KID GOT ON? When your good friends keep dying around you life ain’t so great You ask how they died while fearing the answer It’s always something devastating dispensed by fate Sometimes it’s drugs, and sometimes IT’S cancer Or, by the way, did you hear about Jersey Chuck What a way to go, getting hit by a train You know, after all is said and done and I’ve said oh f**k I think the trains is best because I believe you get hit so hard you don’t feel any pain And let’s not even discuss when a friend’s child dies Funerals, eulogies, weeping moaning and tears All this for a five year old lad with intriguingly opaque eyes All that for a child only on this planet for five years So thus far we’ve established that I’m a coward and weak And that getting hit by a train is good if it’s death you seek Today a really close friend died whose sister and I went steady And I guess the universe wipes you away even if you’re not ready © 2011.…..Phreepoetree ~free cee!~

Another heart breaker Jeff, you try to sound so casual but it hurts so deep in you and for that I am heart sorry, death is inevitable, its always the survivor that suffers.
