RIP THEY SAY
WHAT IF IM NOT DEAD
WHAT IF I LAY IN SORROW
HOPING TO FREE MY SOUL
DOES DEATH HEAL THAT PAIN
DOES LEAVING OTHERS TO SUFFER
HELP US REST IN PEACE
IS DYING A FIGURE OF SPEECH
IS IT THAT WE MUST DYE
SO GOD CAN LOOK AT US
IS IT SO HE CAN SAY WE FAILED
THAT WE WASNT STRONG ENOUGH
THAT WE COULDNT HANDLE
WHAT HE THROUGH AT US
WHAT IF THERE IS NO RESTING IN PEACE
WHAT IF ITS A TEST
A TEST FROM GOD TO SEE WHOS STRONGER
TO JOIN HIS WARRIORS IN HEAVEN
WHAT IF I AM NOT DEAD
WHEN DO I GET TO RIP
NOT TO DIE
BUT TO REST IN PEACE
WITH OUT HAVING TO FIGHT
WITH OUT HAVING TO CLIMB
WITH OUT HAVING TO SURRENDER
RIP THEY SAY AT ALL FUNERALS
BUT LOOK AT THIS ONE
HOW CAN HE REST IN PEACE
WHEN HIS POOR FAMILY
IS LEFT ALL ALONE
HOW CAN HE REST IN PEACE
WHEN HIS CHILDEN
MUST SUFFER WITHOUT HIM
REST IN PEACE
WHAT PEACE DO WE HAVE
WHEN ALL WE DO IS LEAVE
THOSE WE LOVE TO SUFFER
THEN GOD WILL LOOK DOWN ON US
HE WILL SAY WITH HIS STRONG EYES
AND WE WILL BELIEVE IT
BECAUSE HES THE MAN
ARE FATHER WHO ARTS IN HEAVEN
WILL TELL US
WE FAILED HIM
WE COULDNT SEE THROUGH THE DARK
WE COULDNT MOVE THE MOUNTAINS
WE COULDNT SURVIVE THE WATERS
WE COULDNT HANDLE THE FREEZING WINTERS
WE COULDNT SURVIVE THE FIRE SUMMERS
WE COULDNT SURVIVE THE PAIN
WE COULDNT SURVIVE THE DROUGHTS
WE COULDNT SURVIVE THE DEPRESSIONS
WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE FOR US
HE WILL TELL US WE COULDNT DO IT
THAT WHAT HE CAUSED US WE COULDNT HANDLE
SO REST IN PEACE
BUT HOW
WHEN WE KNOW
THAT WE COULDNT HANDLE
WHAT GOD THROUGH ARE WAY

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the strength in the passion and the desire of your words. Better to celebrate life and have no concern for RIP. Death is the end. Better to fight and lose than to die and did nothing. Good questions brought to life by the amazing poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
