2003-11-16 - buh bye
people come and people go
passing ships, some you know
vaporous breaths and steamy clouds
untimely deaths and widow shrouds
drawn lace curtains, cordoned crowds
song uncertain - played too loud
day succombs to nightfall then
morning brings the sun again
children chatter, life goes on,
it won't matter when I'm gone
.
just one crack - this space in time
don't look back and read this rhyme
your self-esteem might take a hit
I don't have time for those who quit
I can't persuade you to exchange
the emptiness and thoughts deranged
for something sacred, true and strange
you think you know what's going on
it won't matter when I'm gone
.
rip off the sick'ning shade of green
that keeps you in this quarantine
worm away in segment dread
this seed I've planted in your head,
and something far above your mind,
will help you leave those doubts behind
the Spirit of God is moving on
so
it won't matter when I'm gone
