When you are sinking
Into the silence of death
Disappearing like dust
Thrown in the air
You will realise
That time is not fair
For you want to keep living.
You can’t even get a chance
To write your last message
To your loved ones.
This life is too short
To empty all of you
To the world.
Your last understanding
On your departure
Is to remember
That people know
Half of the truth
About who you were.
Some things
You wish people knew
Will remain a secret
Not because you wanted it that way
But there wasn’t enough time
To relay the message.
Who will be the first
To finish this life race
For time moves at a faster pace
Even though we go to a better place,
Orphans are left to live in a nest.
With the death of a legend
The whole library will be burnt,
Too much wisdom subtracted
And we are all affected.
This is the truth we all face.
