Another small face today
A minion of a tragic end
Eyes of listless malaise
Fatigued and plagued with
So short of an existence
Mocking my skill and desire
Bringing reality too cold
Standing alone on a road
Unending with heated mirages
Straight to the unknown
Parents filled with hope
They have nothing more
Clinging to each day
Illusions of an eternity
A child should live on
I cannot bear the pain
To know the destiny to be
But moments in my life
To them an eternity
Anticipating the end
Oh to be so sobering
To know a sorrowful fate
Helplessly speaking comfort
Another funerary finish
Death keeps no friends
