WEEP NOT FOR THE DEPARTED

Weep not for the departed   Weep not for the departed

In the October twenty-nine crash of flight zero-five-three

For they have completed their earthly journeys

And had since been initiated into higher mysteries

  Weep not for the loses in gold and silver Material realities are but transient Wouldn’t you get what ever you want? And recompense for all, if there is life  

Weep not with those who are quick to condemn the dead

For they have skeletons mocking them in their closets

Don’t skulls have empty sockets with no eyes to weep?

Is it not from their negligence that we mourn?

 

Weep for those who suffer the effect of the departed

For their love ones have been taken from them

Their pains and sorrows cannot be described in words

Grief and misery stalk them everywhere they go

  Weep for a country that promotes suffering

For the pains of others are orchestrated for their gains

Callousness and greed are their stocks in trade

They rob and insist the dead must pay for the time they lived on earth

 

Weep for those crippled by the monstrous claws of evil rule

Whose tastes for blood are like the vampires I see in films

They cause pipeline explosions, air crashes and road carnages

As the citizenry await their destruction by installment...
