Tears For Death

Tears over death Not because you’ve left Without saying goodbye Oh! I cannot tell a lie. You departed like a storm This is not the norm How strange are some people I have no idea that so many are purple. Oh! Lord, I have no words The shocks are real The pain is surreal Even for the birds. Some have no love They put themselves above Everything on earth Except, of course, death. We should learn something new Every single day. We should have a clue Of what’s happening In summer and in spring. Tears not for you Tears over death So sad, you’ve left Everything is now anew.
