they did not die
they were laid to rest
in grassy fields
where flowers bloom
they did not die
they left this world
for sheltered graves
in earthen wombs
they did not die
they guide us still
from quilted beds
in sturdy rooms
they did not die
they watch us now
with blinded eyes
from cement tombs
they did not die
they just passed on
to gated parks
where flowers bloom
they were laid to rest
in grassy fields
where flowers bloom
they did not die
they left this world
for sheltered graves
in earthen wombs
they did not die
they guide us still
from quilted beds
in sturdy rooms
they did not die
they watch us now
with blinded eyes
from cement tombs
they did not die
they just passed on
to gated parks
where flowers bloom
