I'm a born mourner; Not a whimperer, Or whiner; Don't cry for me, Don't worry for me. Let me mourn. Although an orphan, A singleton, I'm better off Than all the dead poets, Stacked one atop the other, Babel high. When that high, It's a sudden drop. If somethings human Should locate Forty percent of my bones Sometime down their road, Then you can worry about me.

Born to Mourn
I'm a born mourner; Not a whimperer, Or whiner; Don't cry for me, Don't worry for me. Let me mourn. Although an orphan, A singleton, I'm better off Than all the dead poets, Stacked one atop the other, Babel high. When that high, It's a sudden drop. If somethings human Should locate Forty percent of my bones Sometime down their road, Then you can worry about me.
