Not All Of The Dead

If the dead could talk many of them would not wish to come back for to live in this World again
Where somebody's loss becomes another's gain
Where so many compete for this thing known as success
And so few do age without knowing of happiness
There is a good reason for the saying of may she or he rest in peace
From all of their life's cares they have found a release
Some do go through life without ever having enough food for to eat
An apple to them would be a tasty treat
If the dead could speak some of them would say
We do not wish to return to life leave us be go away
In their dark graves content for to lay
Hidden from life and the bright lamp of day
Not all of the dead would like to live again
In a World where somebody's loss becomes another's gain.
