When Death Births Life
How does one
celebrate
when a great man
dies
Note
I said great
not good
for often nothing
is as great
as cruelty
When the wolf Adolphus
bit the bullet
did falling stars
uncover happy hearts
Did the vodka flow
when Uncle Joe
seizured off this mortal coil
And when the heart no one thought
the General had
popped
was there dancing from border to border
The life-long labor pains of death
in these great men
was torture for millions
their great deaths
was the birth of joy
for generations
Remember the pain
mourn the tortured lost
celebrate the joy
