Winston Salem, NC
How did you live?
And now my head is filled with images of heavens, hells, and ribs
How did you live?
By your rules or his?
Did you live in line?
Were you cast with a specific story in mind?
Did you stray?
And did you stay
When you saw moments of suffering
And pain?
How did you live?
If I were to die today
Would recent moments have more weight?
How could one man
In the face of cruel systems
Bring about their end?
How did you live?
Will you move towards the heavenly feast
Or be thrown down among underworld beasts?
And isn’t this system the cruelest of them all:
Damnation for eternity by one simple fall?
How did you live?
