why are we sad when people die

they move on to their next life
wherever that may be

we are the ones that stay behind

those that die don't take their weight with them
no, no they must leave it behind for their loved ones to shoulder on top of their own

a burden beyond compare

people who are surrounded by death carry the most weight
they have carried on the lives of all those who died in front of them

never to get rid of this weight
until we pass it on to the next
moving on from this life
