Envelope Song

Once upon a time
          there was an adolescent
                    who believed in heaven

So it lived piously
          respecting others
                    mindful of differences

never hating.
          It's existence was
                    filled with happiness

and soulful enlightenment
          It lived
                    to a ripe old age

never questioning
          it's beliefs - - - - -
                    Passed with a

smile on it's face
          while sleeping.
