Turn It Upside Down
TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN
?
Turn it upside down,
Let it make meaning:
Death is Ocean that can drown
and animate how you're feeling.
Turn it upside down.
The relic of them that mourn
wails in the wake of forlorn sound.
Death takes all and spares none.
Turn it upside down.
The reflection of our lost friends
is our image when our time is now.
Our unending story starts but ends.
Turn it upside down.
They spite and compare you
with your age mates out of town,
but their graves are inscribed "Adieu".
Turn it upside down.
Amassing wealth is baseless.
Life is birthed but death will dawn,
it is the last grief nonetheless.
Turn it upside down
Your homies are gone & down.
The reflection stares from their graves,
and the loner mourns his favs.
Turn it upside down.
Two worlds but same fate they plough:
The beholder is gone in brokenness
as well as the illusive friends.
Turn it upside down,
whether you smile or frown,
death and separation are either way;
So live your best life each day!
