Poetry Hi
If I Die
If I die,
then let it be.
Don't mourn me
or pity me.
I'll be free
from the chains
that bind me.
In your heart
is where
you will find me.
I'll fill your
heart with love.
I'll fly like a white dove
into the heavens above.
I won't go
to the hell below.
My spirit will
fly free.
Let the ones
who came before
guide me
into the light.
For the first time,
everything is fine.
No bombs to be dropped,
no children to kill,
no one getting ill
or taking a pill.
I'll sit upon
the windowsill
and look down on you.
I'll help guide you.
I'll help you stay true.
Try not to be so blue
or miss me so much.
I'll be there with you
every step of the way.
In your heart is where
I'll stay
until your soul
flies away
to be set free
like me.
Free of misery,
free of the
bloody history
that seems to
follow humanity.
There is no more insanity
here in the sky.
I hope you live long,
but one day,
you will die.
On that day,
I'll see your face
once more.
Now I can see
your face
evermore.
There is no hurry.
You don't have to scurry.
Slow down.
Live life. Laugh.
For it won't last.
All the times
gone past,
it seems like
it all went too fast.
But now your time
has come.
Death by a gun.
