If the truth be told Only half his heart was gold The other half was steel I wish the man they buried Was at least a little real It wasn’t his fault So I’m not really sad Because both his mum and dad Were just a little mad He was a little wounded When he was a child Too much time in the trenches While they all went wild I never saw them kiss No one talks about this Denial of the gloom And the elephant in the room Someone I never knew Went into the ****** hearse And the epitaph they wrote Was for another person Sean Hunt Jan 1st 2017
