Elegy of the Dead

by Aidan Reilly

Rest in peace to all of our loved ones

The lost spirits dancing in the field of death

The field of the afterlife is the place you can run

Maybe it isn't so bad to be dead

 

Rest in peace to the dwellers that lurk

In the shadows and the dark 

Below the dirt, deeper than the worms

Where they can't hear the chirps of the birds in the park

Rest in peace because they were human too

 

They have paid for their crimes

They know they are illusions too 

Just an invisible being and a whole lot of time
