A man who know he will not die is
A young man.
Kept young by the knowledge that
Death shall have no dominion,
Nothing’s as hard as
Watching that die.
Who knows
The pain of death better –
He who gasps his final breath or
We who must breathe
The foul air of
His decomposition?
Who bears the greater burden –
The cold bones of
The dead man in his coffin or
The spine of
The pallbearer carrying his load?
No one knows this burden better than
We who have seen so many pass.
If we’re going to die,
We should make it count for
Something –
Make a stand.
