To Those Who Have Died Today (Free verse) by AnotherNothing
To those who have died today
I make a mockery of your death
I fritter what you have surrendered
I waste what little I have left.
I sleep as you are buried
Repine as your family cries
As your ceaseless ceiling closes
I neglect the stunning skies.
I have never known your face
I will never know you name
Ignorant of your love and loss
Your deaths are all the same.
Oblivious to your death
And the life which I ignore
I forget the act of breathing
Until I breath no more.
