Lay me down when i bite the dust
But not in a coffin, that is a must
Plant a redwood sapling on me
And ill grow into a redwood tree
For i'm not religious, but this i believe
Will bring me happiness, when i cease to be.
this is my wish when i die, after a full life i want to give back to nature, please don't stick me in a coffin and put me in the ground, let me give myself to a beautiful redwood sapling so it can grow into a magnificent redwood tree.
I am hungry for beef and blood
I cannot stop myself or run
I crave for food and violence too
As a human being its what i do
And yet ill wait, for i am my own
And refusing desire is what i’ll show
this poem portrays the evil of man, and the ability of every individual in humanity to refuse desire and temptation
I’m on my way to the ground down under
I can hear my family, the crowd; like thunder
Death had stricken my name so fast
And i am in my grave at last
My family will be gone soon
And i’ll be left alone by noon
And then my body will start to decay
And my memory will fade away
you cant always expect your name to go down in history, so its important to cherish life as it comes
The flowers are greeting me and wishing me the best
The little birds are chirping me “goodbye” up in their nest
My teacher just the day before had quizzed me my last test
I wont be coming home tonight, for i've been laid to rest
this has a slightly morbid note, but it was intended to indicate the serine beauty in life that could end in an instant
Look off into the distance from a quiet library
Peer outside the window, and let your thoughts fly free
Look past the horizon, and you will truly see
How beautiful and wonderful that great big world will be
Then go down to the river, where once, there sat, just me,
And listen to the birds that chirp their tranquil melody
Then go home to your lover, and drink your herbal tea
And when you go to bed at night, you’ll finally be at peace
My lovely voice can carry, and carry it will
For her voice is scary, and hateful, and shrill
I’ll protect humanity with sounds so pleasant
And drown out her screaming; like a dying pheasant
And i’ll be the hero, and i’ll have the fame
And she’ll go down in history as a woman with no name
Don't give us those puppy dog eyes
We gave you three chances to love us
Don't try to oppress us guys with your fake drawn out dumb love
We are but defenders from your syrin ways
So leave us before you get hurt
We’ll win this battle anyway
We won’t give in this time, or turn
