Recalling for the record:
At 11:59 pm Last night there was a death.
No one called the police because someone finally took authority!
The funeral was approximately sometime after the mourning!
The eulogizers didn’t speak long because there weren’t too many good things to say!
But at the grave site…
I buried my yesterday.
For 20 years to 30 years I lived in, and basted in the past…
Grieving promises of change
Abusers, lovers, who wore all types of disguises, lies, and masks,
A Pity they never did last!
Yet it was a quiet ceremony because we already rained and complained, bawled in a corner down through the ages…
You see the condition was acute and the will to live was in the terminal stages!
There was no other remedy but to pull the plug.
No more bleeding Issues,
Not one more bags to lug!
Leaving a message to the world:
No more afflictions of abuse, nor pain.
Finally behind me with nothing to gain!
Hear from experience my persuasive voice:
Because on the contrary you do have a choice!
Stop viewing yourself victimized, worthless and low…
Trust Your God and Let all that stuff go!
