It Is Only The Thought Of It

 Every day we live death to us one day more near

But it is only the thought of it that we do fear

For death in itself is a natural thing

And equality to all people with it does bring

The town's wealthiest person was buried today

Now she is poorer than the poorest of the living of her one can say

And though the poorest of the living are struggling to cope

At least they are living and where there is life there is hope

The town's wealthiest person she lost all hope today

She does not have a future where she now does lay

One can say of her that she had her good years

But she did not hear the sobbing for her of the farewell tears

Death makes us all equal in truth one can say

The town's wealthiest person was buried today.
