On Death
On Death
Once is enough
Twice is too much
I want to take it with me
But there are rules
Of engagement – time limits – restraints – red tape - you know
You just can’t hide
They tried to kill my God once
It must have hurt.
He took it hard
We did too
3 days later He came around
It was easy
Like walking on water
I still don’t want to go
No one gets out alive they say
My toys will miss me
And who will pay the taxes?
If you cry will it make it better?.....make it go away?
So many questions….such little time
I only want lunch
On Death
Once is enough
Twice is too much
