Who Pays Attention

Death will pay more
attention to you...
than your lover

Death will pay more
attention to you...
than your children

Death will pay more
attention to you...
than your friends

Death will pay more
attention to you...
than YOU!

Death is always there.

The Shadow And Me

Sat in the shadows
Of the old oak tree
I painted my nails
I thought out loud
Smiled a few times
Laughed, cried

Sat in the shadows
Of the old oak tree
Sleeping, breathing,
Takin in life, real nice
I can live here
I thought to myself
Maybe not forever
But it can be arranged

Sat in the shadows
Of the old oak tree
Being me, that's all
Being me!

Is my life written in stone
by my enemy?
The smile of an enemy
has taken over me
and I can't do a damn thing
about it
or can I?

Who's hands are over
the smile of an enemy?
