Sad Fate

Sad Fate

“Have you been in the graveyard?” Asked Master Satan
Yes, I've been there, and I visited the gravestone. You asked
I talked about this in an earlier poem. The Forgotten Heroes

Sad life, sad past. Hmm. Pain is this monument. These names
Hmm. One of them is Thomas. Royal Altirelly. Twenty-five years
Hmm. There is Lilian. Aged one hundred and five years.

The same family names
Can you read this information?
Oh, so sad this story. Hmm. History

And, there is a little board 
The text is tear-jerking
Harrowing. Painful

“What is the text?
Please."

Hmm
Okay

In Proud Remembrance of
Willie
Died whilst a prisoner
of war in the far east

Hmm. The same family name
“So this is a short story of a family.”

Yes
Very sad

“It’s that
God bless them.”

Hmm
Fate

“Hmm
Life”

Not a
Tale

“Hmm"

Rest in Peace
