When Death Comes About

When a death comes about,
All I do is shout
But when I look about
I see a dog’s pout

I thing about it
All it lead to is getting lit
And if I think a bit
All that comes from it

Is me looking at the Lord
Thinking,
Why pout and shout,
When I could look
And I think about?

If I just smile for a while,
I feel like I can build the Nile
