Tale of Woe

Thy young maiden, Peck her Lily flower a shake. A brittle sound of break, Sobbing till tears make. Bare feet on wet grass. Alas, her life, soon ‘twill pass.

I never even knew you, I was born a long time after your sad death
But; I do know the future you gave me, with your last dying breath

Nagaski Marching

Marching to the death of soldiers
Marching to the death of the innocent
Marching to the death of the guilty
Marching towards the unknown
Marching towards unforgiving
Marching towards unfeeling
All who march, march to their own death
All who march, march to suffering.

She Is Dead

Today the silence rings in my head
She is dead
Never to return
Her mother won’t get to say goodbye, only to cry when her name is said.
She is dead.
Never to walk the land
Her father will never be allowed to hold her hand, only to wish he had told her he loved her more.
She is dead.
Gone now and forever more.

The Death of Me

When I die will you finally cry for me 
if I cry will you give your life for me
To make me smile will you go the extra mile
To see a tear,will you take away my fear
Not a fear of death but a fear of life
You sleep your death away
But life moves on day by day
When you see the death of me
And the light shines on the grave in which is sleep
Then and only then you'll see 
What I meant by the Death of Me

Written by my brotha...David E. Williams
