Bernie Mac

Issac Hayes

Bernie was only fifty

Issac was about sixty-five

Life is an eye opener
Death is an eye opener
Love is an eye opener
Hate is an eye opener
and can be a
heart and eye closer

This could be the reason
many see
but they don't see

Many waste away
the hours
rose thorns instead of
lovely flowers
They don't ask
anyones pardon
as they stubble through
their rose garden

Many have a one amount
thorns so many
you can't count
They don't recognize others
even their sisters and brothers
Their bull chit smothers
even their fathers and mothers

Daylight shines bright
for them it's still night
Which is worse
a walking death
while in good health
or just plain dead
no health instead
Of course some life
is better than none
It shouldn't be wasted
even by one
