No eulogy will enlight
from the absolute silence
of the never ending darkness of night
Condolence is a testimonial shroud
of a memorialized concept
Used to solace the dire void of the bereaved mind
But hence there is no significant tribute
for the inevitable oblivion
and the state of existence we leave behind
No distant time will mourn
Nor will it remorse the somber discrete
of life that once was born
Interment is a sacrilegious bed
that imprisons immortality
As intervals evolve into perpetual sleep
For no fabled resurrection
sympathizes materialism
Though solemn are the tears thy eternally weep
Birth sign: Aquarius
