Is Life Profound

        For some, time creeps along
           as they wait to say, ‘So long’

        For others it’s in a hurry 
           their grave to dig and them to bury
                     
	Outside Death Row, a vigil some keep 
           some cheer; others weep

         Is life profound… Is it deep
            Is life dirt cheap
