Someone wants to have this as an epitaph on his grave. Not me in fact

When he was alive
When he was sick
When he needed help
Nobody cared for him
They just neglected him
They talked ill of him
Now when he is dead
When his slender body
That shining ebony
With the majestic build
Is lowered to the grave
They shed tears for him
Not for the deceased only
But for themselves as well
For they carry dead souls
Inside their living bodies
