We 3 Ghosts <br />Wish we never walked at all <br />A lovely bouquet of roses <br />Spells <br />Doom <br />For the deceased <br />And dying <br />A pampered eulogy <br />For the reverend's daughter <br />Sympathy never sang so sweet <br /> <br />Emotions filled the room <br />Like smog from the eternal factories <br />Matter-of-factly <br />Adults talking of death <br />Made me lean away <br />From suicide and sainthood <br />A play for respect <br />A song for remorse <br />The girl was a year older than me <br />I once kissed her on the playground <br /> <br />When I was too small to know of death <br />And too ignorant to know of life<br /><br />James Merchant<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-3-ghosts/
