Death Comes for us All
Death comes for us all the preacher has said
But the teachers keep teaching
Still trying to fill heads
They say knowledge is power
but when the hour draws near
They look away and put the books away
And hold the ones they held dear
But, Death comes for us all the preacher did say
We all loved someone at one time
and minded the tears of yesterday
See to love and lost is better
The loathsome chatter is spewed
Blissful ignorance is what i insist
As I bid my love adieu
Still death comes for us all I understand with regret
See love is never perfect
Hearts muddied and palms wet
Emotions haunt the ones
that see love flaunted some–
times they change and sear
The mindful watch as it spins the clock
As the hour itself draw near
