After Silence
All the kids are dressed in black
The heavens gaze down in anguish
The man lays down, vanquished
He had much more to do
But he made a deal with you
And the devil asked his due
The angel is scarred
No holds were barred
God let down his guard
Or so says the bard
The woman cries and weeps
The man lies and sleeps
The bird flies and peeps
The body dies and keeps
The soul strides and leaps
Send all of your powers
In lieu of flowers
So he can have the hours
To sweeten his sours
But nonetheless
I digress
He’ll be just fine suppressed
Go on to eat
Go on to meet
Six feet is not that deep
