THE SADNESS DOES NOT END/ THE DEATHS DO NOT STOP COMING

The sadness does not end-
The deaths do not stop coming-

If you want to be free of this
Do not grow old-
Do not know many people
Do not in fact be human-

The deaths do not stop coming
The sadness does not end-
How better to be young and mindless than old and full of so many memories of lost friends-

Shalom Freedman
