Some People - Unpopular In Stature -
Some people – unpopular in stature –
Slip away into death unnoticed
Softer than a falling feather
That little earns a second glance
But the good deeds of their lives
Grow – recount a love that’s long
And with increasing strength – strive
To tell of hope that spans a marathon.
Others are taken with a shout
Heard far across the air waves –
Ushered by those in the crowd
To a biography and grand raves
And some die amid great efforts –
Succumbing to an evil deed –
And leave a hole as big as their hearts –
Hindsight is the mystery.
Still others leave unknown;
Their time becomes a strange gap
That hides behind a name
Clinging to a simple lithograph.
