Death came to me at just 15
my brother never made it home
He died as a simple passenger
a car accident victim, not alone
It came to me again at 27
my cousin who became my brother,
lit himself on fire, literally
because he had no other
but he was married, with 2 kids
she had left him earlier
you could still smell the burnt rubber
from her skids...
It came to me 6 years ago
when my Dad succumbed to Cancer
the big C, to see him weakening
was a blow, but he started to know
God at this time.
It made me angry!
First to recognise his Athiesim
Second to see him succumb
Third to finally see him bribe
his way through remaining time
What do you know?
perhaps God recognised his crime...
Death comes to me
every time I read the news
It hits just as hard
as if I knew
each and every soul lost
even though they are just names
written on paper
I think I might know death
just like you do
I mourn, but prefer
It waits for me
*Later

I'm very very happy,
That's how I was made to be.
Oh, why the long face?
Did people judge you of your race?
Sit with me, we shall confide,
If you've ever had thoughts of suicide.
Hello, I will try to fix your of your cry,
Of the day when your boyfriend made a lie.
What's this? Your girl broke up with you?
There there, I'll help your heart find one that's true.
Come one, come all,
Let me help you get up from your fall!
I love you no matter who you are,
And we will run to lands of peace afar.
There's always another day,
Hopefully, in the next one, you are not so astray.

Can
you
please
just
let
me
forget
you?
