My Last Wish

The paper sits in front of me… what do I say I’m leaving this world, can’t see another day Do I start with thanks Do I end with goodbye With each stroke my heart writes red Perhaps it’s time for me to lie in bed Will it be war Will it be peace I think of my friends I once had And now so many gone… how sad They had no choice They had to go The red ink now states my final desire And explains in detail the friendly fire They need to know They need to act What happened here was not our fault And they will cover up the assault. Then there is a tap on my shoulder She’s dressed in white and a little older She softly touches my check And gives me an enticing wink Who is this person, I thought She spoke in a whisper… let’s go for a walk She smiled and held out her hand I shook my head, I don’t understand You will find the truth and it will be clear And remember you have nothing to fear For all the red will be replaced with blue You will feel no pain after you pass through We are going to a place far from your birth I’ve heard that some… even call it Earth.
