Subsim Poetry

To the younger generation, poetry is what you refer to as rap...

Who will go first.....

Buried Alive

Now that I'm dead, friends gathered round
The pastor speaking was finally found
He was a "good man" someone had said
but I only hear it, now that I'm dead

They all gather at my last place
They all walk by and stare at my face
"He looks so good" I know this is true
Dead that I am, I look better than you

Lying here getting dirt thrown in my face
as in life, even death's a disgrace
I watch them all and with a sigh
for them to hug, did I have to die

Marg hugs Bill, "Good to see you, dear"
"How long has it been,".... merely ten years
Ten years she cries "How can that be"
then kisses another, oh watch how she flees.

The farewells have all been said.
I guess I'm alone here, finally dead.
Back to your lives, wherever they be,
soon they will be looking at you,

not looking at me.

Does this count?

I was reading a Subsim thread one day,
When something came into my head. I must say,
It was something that made me think about life,
With its hope and its joy and its fear and its strife.

I was moved to reflect on the things that I've done,
And I wondered if I was really having fun.
Then I realized it wasn't about who I was,
But rather about what a man says and does.

I was thinking about it again and again,
And it wasn't about just the loss or the win,
But the trying and doing itself was the thing,
And that simple fact gave me reason to sing.

And then Armistead started this thread just in time,
And that gave me reason to compose this rhyme.
I sat down and did it from the top of my head.
I hope it doesn't make you wish you were dead.

If you wonder whether I should go or should stay,
I'll tell you up front that I've much more to say.
If you wonder whether you should stay or should go,
I'm a songwriter, and that's all you need to know.
