My friend died 11/5/07 and I wrote this poem 12/10/07, inspired by their death.
Life is precious
Life is short
People are oblivious
People get hurt
Leftbehind to suffer
Leftbehind in pain
In this world many suffer
Nothing is what we gain
Leftbehind with memories
Leftbehind with thoughts
People commit a felonies
Freedom is what we sought
Now alone with pain
Our hearts have scars in their name
We cry in the rain
Life is not a game
People are oblivious
People get hurt
Because life is precious
Because life is short
So treasure those around you
For you don't know when they'll go
Treasure those around you
For they'll be gone before you know
