Media: Rights In Death?
The mail lady drops off a letter
That drops a bomb on the family,
Their brother dropped dead
After dropping out of college.
Just like the newspaper is a nuisance
Without any nudity
You read an article by some Mr. Newman
He says he doesn't find it news
That another college kid has died.
"Its not like he burned on a pyre," said the man
I don't think it makes a difference if it involved any fire.
I disregard his writing because he wants to aspire
To change minds of these people by being a liar.
I bet they'd think different if he was said dyer.
Mr. Newman, drop your arms,
And Shut off your alarms.
What you say can cause harm
To the family that the mail lady had dropped off that letter.
That dropped the bomb on the family
That their brother dropped dead.
After dropping out of college.
Here's to thinking ahead.
