Eulogy

Mankind lives in desolation,

Jabbing at all of creation,

Dividing himself in nations

Conquest in his view.

Certainly, this was not right.

But it was no use to fight.

I wanted to embrace the night

And run from what was true.

However, then came you, my friend;

To put my hiding to an end.

You helped me face the light and send

My sadness to the grave.

I don't deserve a friend like this!

Oh, how could I have ever missed

This happiness, this state of bliss

Which me from darkness saved?

It's nice to know there's more than one

Who is not hypnotized by sun

Or love or the 'in thing' or fun

Like everybody else.

One can be happy in the rain,

And cold, gray clouds and others' pain

Is fun to share; it's not insane

To think this for yourself.

And so, my friend, it's you I thank

Though now you have joined in the ranks

Of Death- your eyes and face so blank-

I know you can't hear me.

I let my tears and feelings flow

And yet, deep down inside I know

That you will come and I will go

Then joined again we'll be.
