Here Lies...

A Poem by kahlen369

An Epitaph

Here lies…

The man,

Standing in the middle of the crowded street.

Here lies…

The man,

Drinking coffee at the table across yours.

Here lies…

The man,

Riding on the same six o’ clock bus to work.

Here lies…

A brother,

A father,

A son,

A stranger.

The stranger that no one knew,

And no one will ever know.

Here lies…

John Doe

Author's Note

For those who have no one to visit their grave.
For those who have no widows with a crying face.
For those who have no flowers to put upon their grave.

Those who have only two words engraved.

JOHN DOE

For those unknown souls.

May they rest in peace.
