Death

The sky fills with stars as a sobbing
Mother mourns the death of her new 
Born infant.
A new life begins as an old one ends.
Who knows when our time shall come.
You could have lived half your life at
The age of 16.

A young boy died today.
He got loaded, wasted, and high.
Now's the time to say good bye.
He left this world with a sigh.
Now his mother brakes down to cry.

Please God have mercy on his soul.
He's paid his price, he's paid his toll.
God please, have mercy on his tortured soul
