When You Are Gone
Like the rabbits eat carrots
Thy body shall be eaten by maggots
When you’re no more breathing
And thy soul, taken into the heavenly ceiling.
You’re sand, to it you shall return
Then reap whatever you’ve done.
Then upon thy grave like a weeping sky,
Thunderously people may mourn and cry.
And once the funeral rites are performed,
With this world you have severed your bond.
Then, your loved ones shall leave you alone
And your properties become their own.
