When People Fall

When People Fall When people fall from buildings it’s alright They die for a reason Like love, hate or architectural anomalies Still, they have to pay a fine because suicides illegal When people fall from planes it’s hard To find your footing At 30,000 feet you’re sure to meet your maker When jet comes apart and no brakes to apply When people fall from cliffs it’s difficult To hear them going down from a distance From a slip or mishap Perhaps an equipment design or human flaw When people fall from grace it’s crazy They say free fall is fun…at first It happens over time and makes you lazy When you land you’ll find it hurts When people fall short it’s cute You’re parachute won’t open I guess that’s because you’re on the ground This revelation should keep you safe and sound
