(For Donte', Eric and Frankie)
(May They Rest In Peace)
Don't Cry For Me
For I'm ALIVE as can be
Although, I Rest In Peace, Eternally
I live through the soil of Mother Earth's debirs
I rise as the roots that become a tree
I breed like the Creatures under the sea
My voice is that of the waves, rising Rapidly
Despite, the Old saying that:"Death Comes In Three"
For, I like an Emancipated Slave, am free
No more, from this troubled World, do I bother to flee
Since, I'm in the realm of a HIGHER POWER, you see
Just a hop, skip and jump, away from Humanity
Which means, I watch over All, as the Master does thee
So, Don't Cry For Me
