Eulogy

I think it's funny,

how people compose the most wonderful things

only to say them to you when you die

You spent the day you were born

with syllables and actions

character books turning to fiction

Growing up blank

and learning to climb the well

survival and adaptability 

they try to train you well

But their words were only kinder

when they think you deserve them to be

and their faces are colder even if they're not mean

Here, at the point of life, or no-life

they stand around and cry

wishing there could have been more time

yet all the the time you had since you were born

were the times you are only allowed, no return

Time, they ask, time they ignored

how do you feel now? Of course you don't

you are colder than they, 

you are no more

just a body under our floors

and it is the worst thing that once you are still alive they can either love or hate you but when you are inside that coffin they have to say something nice about you, that is the selfishness imminent in all men. so sad if we think about it seriously

Unfortunately, I have witnessed this time.and again within my own family. It gives me sadness to think how we struggle and try to help each other, our family, yet we only hear the grattitude when one's life is gone

and that is human nature that we have to learn to understand more
