Cemetery of Ignorance


I placed something in my grave,
before my body was ever put there
I buried all my ignorance,
and hatefulness,
in the days when I still drew air
Many have come to this cemetery,
many have come long before me
Now here we meet, as they lower me ...
we who once would never
grace each other's company

What a great message Freddie. In life people may think that they are different or better. The truth is we are all the same; we all go down to the grave.
