Death Has Dominion
Death is ill timed, never expected
and awkward for those left behind.
Funerals are Death's surreal plays.
Tears won't always come on cue.
It's bad luck to talk about death.
We speak kind of the dead. We don't
talk of their human frailties.
We deny our own sins and theirs.
We forgive the world for our sins.
If we never lived in your creation
with temptations forbidden we'd
never suffer birth and death.
