You were too quick
To push us into the grave
Guaranteed real estate
Bought and paid for
You told me not to worry
When I’d asked how
You’d fly my body home
You were a little too quick
You’d had it all worked out
How you’d deposit me in the ground
May mercy be upon you
It’s sad and untimely and if
I should go
I’ll go there too
But I don’t want you
To usher me out
I don’t belong to you
To do with as you will
A recurring motif throughout
My story
Just because you carried me
As a newborn
You’re not my life usher
You think I wouldn’t have figured
It out?
So quick to place bodies in the ground
I may not play good chess
But I have a big mouth –
Not usually, but yes
Right now when it counts
You’ve ushered me into the world
You’ve ushered my people out
Too soon
But you shan’t usher me out of the earth
God willing
And God have mercy
On your corrupted soul.
