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.
