Eulogy

Today

all the sources would agree

that the day of their death was a cold dark day

Scuttled

ships have blocked the sea

and the pallid light of morning melts into an ashy gray

And goodbye to everything

sayonara everyone

they are tired

write the eulogy

No one

understood a word they said

hailed them all as kings up upon a pedestal

Their names

scribbled on a parchment piece

would sink like any ship listing fast from ruptured hull

And goodbye to everything

sayonara everyone

they are tired

write the eulogy

And I saw them as they passed

it was like a millstone cast

far into the deep blue sea

The murky sea is black

dismal and so deep

millstones rocket through the dark

into it's icy keep

A resting place for broken ships

a cemetery for the humble

no one's here to make you stumble

If Jesus Christ is true

then I am mostly lies

if Jesus Christ is Love

then I have failed to try

if Jesus Christ is Life

then please just let me die

let...this...die...

And goodbye to everything

sayonara everyone

they are tired

write the eulogy

And I saw them as they passed

it was like a millstone cast

far into the deep blue sea

goodbye, sayonara

they are tired

write the eulogy
