My Good God, Death Is Not a Crime
I realized; I was looking at the photo for one more time
Smiling bride and groom with such a promising chime!
Such pretty faces, so lovely, so warm and friendly
Holding hands, bonded minds in wedlock, loyally.
A smile so familiar and sincere, like a morning coffee blend
A newlywed couple asking wishes and good vibes to send.
I remembered, I heard the news of a dying relative of mine,
The old story of a soul, crossing all ties with a nearly flat line.
He got into a coma, and I heard he is in critical condition
So vast a world, yet I thought about this utter suffocation!
I confessed; I did not have a word with him for quite a long time!
May God ease all pain, please, my good God, death is not a crime!
