A Dirge ( Memorial) by noble4d(m): 8:25pm On Nov 25, 2015
In memory of my father and sister.

Oh death!
Why did you hit it hard on to the world?
Why did you cast,
Your anger on the one who is innocent?
You are so mean,
You even appear in our dreams,
You took our pride and turn us to a statue.

Oh death!
You are not still satisfy,
After you have taken the pride of some,
You still came to my little kiosk
And stole away my diamonds,
You keep us ill and make us mourn
Knowing fully well,
The diamonds you stole will never return.

Oh death!
These diamonds you stole
Left holes in my heart.
The true armies of light,
Epitome of integrity,
Oh oh oh
Diamonds above diamonds.
Adieu!
