This is the tragedy,
Of all that does take place;
With the same destiny,
That each of us embrace.
For the hearts of mortals,
Are totally evil;
That have many portals,
Which lead to the devil.
Madness is in each heart,
While being alive;
When dead they not depart,
When Jesus does arrive.
But among the living,
There is plenty of hope;
Since God is forgiving,
And will help us to cope.
For we know that we die,
But the dead do not know;
Christ rescues where we lie,
When it is time to go.
There is no more reward,
As the dead fade away;
Memories of the Lord,
Never there since they stray.
Their love and hate and lust,
Passions already gone;
And all the worldly trust,
Has faded with the dawn.
They will never again,
Having to remember why;
Of the happiness when,
They swatted at a fly.
Enjoy your food and drink,
As you enjoy your life;
All the good times to think,
While loving your wife.
