Life took the life of a poet
Decades before death came--
Life took the life of a poet
A king at night
A Slave at dawn
Hours before birds
He wakes
Trading his time
To earn a dime
Life took the life of a poet
Asked about his poem and pet
Life got serious he laments
Life took the life of a poet
Though we barely see him live
We all attended his funeral
Many times before death came
