The Famous and Infamous
The Famous and Infamous
Written: By Tom Wright
6/22/06
Each time that silence
Steals a famous voice,
It returns to the dust
From whence it came.
Some selfishly think
That had it been their choice,
Death would have called
A more infamous name;
There’s nothing about it
That can be changed,
One’s fame or fortune
Cannot alter the season.
For at birth each death
Has been pre arranged,
Though at times we’re apt
To ponder God’s reason.
