Tribute To All Our Departed Souls

TRIBUTE TO ALL OUR DEPARTED LOVED ONES 


THE SWIFT LOYAL SERVANT KNOCKS FROM THE CORNERS OF THE SLUMS
UP TO THE STREETS OF THE METROPOLISES
STRANGLING THE STRONG AMONGST US
CHOKING THE OLD AND ROARING AT INFANTS TILL THEY CEASE TO BREATHE 

CALL YOUR OLD AND NEW FRIENDS
FORGIVE YOUR FOES OF LONG AGE
HUG YOUR PARENTS AND MELT OUT A SMILE
TEXT COUSINS AND KNOCK ON NEBOR'S DOOR
REACH OUT TO YOUR SIBLINGS OFTEN
CELEBRATE FRIENDS ON THEIR SPECIAL DAYS
GET COOKIES FOR YOUR KIDS
BUY A ROSE FOR YOUR SPOUSE
EAT AND DRESS WELL

WHOEVER LEAVES FIRST AMONG US 
JUST LEAVE A GOOD MEMORY FOR THOSE BEHIND
THE JOURNEY INTO TOMORROW MAY NOT COME
THAT IS IF THE CLOCK DOESN'T STOP TODAY
WHILE HERE MAKING A LIVING
DON'T FORGET TO MAKE LIFE FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS
THE DREADED AGENT MAY VISIT SOON
HE IS A LOYAL SERVANT OF OUR MASTER

Humanity needs to stop and have a look back at what it was meant to be at creation. We owe one another love, affection and sacrifice. Thanks for stopping by to read
