What the left do not realise,
Is all of those they left behind.

They believe they cannot stand
That all of life’s got out of hand

So quickly quietly do they go

Without a word or sound

It will be better off without me

I need to do this now

Cold flesh that twists slowly round,

Scars the one who have them found,

Who before so happy to live life away

Without a thought of day to day

Now can’t see a way around

So also end up in the ground

The dusty dirt to which they return

Claims more than those who asked their turn

How greedy is this earth of ours

To swallow those before their hour

Yet those who leave can never know

The pain of us who continue to go

Around in circles to figure out

Why didn’t they just give a shout?

A word of warning in our ear

So that we could then start to hear

The inaudible pain they struggled to silence

That overwhelmed them, got compliance

Death hands you a one-way ticket

With him there’s no return

He’s selfish and will keep you

He is without concern

So think carefully before you leave

You think its bad here now?

Now do to those that which you hate

And destroy a world, a life, a mate

For those about to board that flight

Into the heavens and above the night

You condemn another to your fate

To live a life of which they hate

If death is the only answer you can find,

Then ask another question.

For trust me to tell you

That life does not end when you do

But your chance to enjoy it does
