Those Flowers, So Fresh!

by M. V. J. Simon

As I lie pale and white
Those flowers on my chest so fresh
Mourners in black and white
Shedding right tears, in right measure

As I lie pale and white
I never knew I had friends so many
Would have been nice if they were around
While I was alive

As I lie pale and white
I never knew I was so good
Worthy of praise so kindly showered
It's news I was the noblest!

As I lie pale and white
I know they're so eager
To see who gets what
And share what's left

As I lie pale and white
Shorn of gold even in my teeth
They just can't wait
To share the divides

As I lie pale and white
I smile
