Death 
Category: Writing and Poetry 


Sitting in their rolling coffins
Waiting for the lights to change
Hurrying off to nowhere
To meet no one
For no reason at all
Mindless faces
Leaving behind no lasting traces
Fleeting breathing souls shoot forth
They wither in the mid day sun
Their ultimate fate they can't outrun
Making funny little noises
Striving, ever striving to find meaning
In this senseless existence
Already dead before they die
Living out a great big lie
People lonely behind their masks
Putting on shows and doing little tasks
Living out their miserable fate
For their inevitable death they wait
Waiting for that final moment
That sweet moment of death's cold embrace
When they dress you in your finest lace
You meant nothing
You were nothing
You return to nothing from whence you came
Ah but it's all the same
I'm glad I passed through this brief existence
I felt the love of many
I'll die without fear
Life's pain hath tempered my emotions
There's nothing to be afraid of anymore
"And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love....you make"*The Beatles
"When your spirit slips away
There's nothing you can do or say
May the angels be watching over you
That fateful day
When your spirit splips away" *R.I.P. Phil Lynott Thin Lizzy
So when this train reaches her last stop
The conductor will signal for me to step off the train
And I shall be dead
