Why do you take the great ones? You come with your death notes And without any prior warning You leave scores of people crying Why leave the ones that are dumb Why can't we have a referendum? I don't think it's fair to remain stoic Maybe you will see truth ,the logic And the reason to reconsider things. Nobody likes what your visitation brings Stop taking the people we love most. Take a break from job and read this post Tell me afterward if I'm right or wrong We are tired swaying to your funeral song. Today you took the great Kofi Annan Almost on the same date you took my Nana. Day before yesterday you took Aretha Like you took my dearest Aunt Martha. ©IvanBrooksPoetry

Dear Death
