Who's in the Coffin?Dreams are formed from the the time that a child's born. A mothers pain turned to pride. Gotta keep strong Along with the joy comes a strong sense of sadness Cause here's another life in a world of madness "can't get to far" that's what they're gonna say, Cause he's got a tag on his face and it don't pay She's got to think about the life of her kid. Cause Her life span, could be longer than his. She's got to bring him up the right way, Teach him well and pray that he doesn't go astray But that's not the plan of the devil, Plant a seed in his head and turn the kid into a rebel. Now what is she supposed to do? While he's gone out he's got something to prove. He's going out with the crowd Now he's a "Big Man" Slinging bricks for a rep.and he's got fans. But in this world there's no trust, thought he got away from a cop and he got bucked, And mommas at the funeral sobbin' She did all she could do..... Still Who's in the coffin? Chorus: All the faces are the same - Still who's in the coffin Nothing changes but the name - Still who's in the coffin (2x) B.Alexander -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ©Benjamin Casey 1991 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
