Boy on the roof,Why are you there?Do the stars look lovely?Can you see over the mountains?What lies beyond the sea?Are people dancing in the city?Do the troubles of the world get you down?Is that why you are up there?Let me get a ladder and I’ll join you.With every step up the air is clearer.The grit…

Celebrate Death
Do you celebrate the old? Do you mourn for the youth? Or is it vice-versa? Who can say? Death comes for us all. A curse that lays on all. For we all wait in line, To see the end. We all hope that the end comes, Before our turn comes. Do you mourn the dead?…
