My First Death

Came with a beat

Went with a breath

 

Saw it take

But didn’t get

 

Tears Flooded

Wet n dry

Real n fake

Known n nay

Left the body

Lifeless it struck

Lump of flesh

Corpse it lay

 

No reason needed

Sofar man pleaded

Fathom - it’s deaf and dumb

Did its work

Left body numb

 

Some stayed still

Some looked afraid

Another soul has freed

Another body is dead

 

Many eyes I saw tear

Some were real

Some were mere

 

When I stood

Words came from my

Soul to his

“May rest in peace”
