I'm sad
my friend
sad
you tried
we tried
we cried
you fought
we fought
for naught
craven creature
writhed
and won
I'm sorry
friend
so sorry
how can sun
be gone
yet birds sing
don't they see
can't they tell
it is but stars
an afterglow
all is naught
life has passed
your ailing breath
expired
from darkness sown
by drug cartels
intent
on breaking will
of *** plant babes
sourced for fame
stealthy greed
seduces most
millions sought
want you
and me
they're undeterred
their filly reach
a blinding hate
of freedom's rights
leave humans be
as infants wail
and white coats play
mere blinded dupes
pay dues required
in hallowed halls
and now you're
dead
yes, dead
not anywhere
you've left us
gone
from dirt to dirt
and ash to ash
and so it ends
somehow we must
decide to breathe
when you cannot
I hold you still
in memory's dream
my brother sweet
though in my arms
the grief burns
pure
writhe impotent
in essence true
we're nil
no flow of tears
will soothe you now
they've ceased
the dreaded C
has had its day
too bad
too bad
our useless words
rebound
a spinning wheel
pathetic croaks
on fade porch
perhaps if we...
I should have said...
why didn't I...
and so it goes
tortured mind
unwilling thrusts
accept the truth
grim reaper came
and now he's
gone
another love
will soon be
marked
why you dear friend
Lord, please
not you
the rivers dam
there are no streams
that be enough
remorse it screams
why not the swines
the great unwashed
why was it you
the good
- why
