Today the sunset was not beautiful
It was lost behind the grey expanse
That poured down the tears of God
Onto the land that caused them

Today I lost purpose in life
And Elvis died
His voice echoed in me
Behind the magical green liquidial valves he was alive

Today the news came on at 7
Like every other day
More tragedies, more death, more pain, more suffering
And a lawn mower for sale

Today I was shaking
As I addressed the young children
My hands could not hold a pen
My demented old brain could not hold the words

Today they buried me
Some more tears poured onto the land that caused them
They’ll remember me for a few more days
Before I vaporise into a memory

Behind the green liquidial valves I was dead
