Eulogy
Eulogy
Old is my aging mind
Its lost its perception of time
Fading memories of yesterday were sublime
Those memories ...forgotten over time
Exaggerated after depression relapses
Seizures , fainting spells , and sudden collapses
Tired and bored of forgetting memories
When most yearn to heal and believe
in mythical spirituals
in cures and in near death miracles
Reap confusion and regret as their minds rotten
Forget those who’ve forgotten those who’ll forget those who’ve forgotten
How to remember common sense
I’ve committed murder , it’s bad karma and I’ve lived in purgatory ever since
Contracting common sense has cured my senility and ignorance
Took these pills and I’m waiting in suspense
Dead , soul journed for seven days than materialized
Took the same pills here on the other side
Eulogy for suicide
