POEM TO READ TO THE DYING
1
No one said death would be easy
There is no background music
2
Who will water the flowers?
I don't want to feel sorry for you
3
You can kiss me, quickly while there's time
You're all I've got
4
Look at the dancing, shifting raindrops
Those are the angels of God- waiting for you
5
But I must warn you
You still won't escape the government
Things are called by different names here
We're still all clowns
See that unnaturally glowing, silver cloud?
Don't ever stare at it too long
You will go insane
---Stanley Gemmell
