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
