When a Man Dies

*****************************************



When a man dies... 
The love that follows him to the grave
Is unfathomable...
This same man drank garri once too often 
While he was alive...
Where those around him blind
To the fact that he was starving?
Please know you don't have friends, 
You just know too many peoples.
