Hey Father Death, I'm flying home <br />Hey poor man, you're all alone <br />Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going <br /> <br />Father Death, Don't cry any more <br />Mama's there, underneath the floor <br />Brother Death, please mind the store <br /> <br />Old Aunty Death Don't hide your bones <br />Old Uncle Death I hear your groans <br />O Sister Death how sweet your moans <br /> <br />O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths <br />Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths <br />Pain is gone, tears take the rest <br /> <br />Genius Death your art is done <br />Lover Death your body's gone <br />Father Death I'm coming home <br /> <br />Guru Death your words are true <br />Teacher Death I do thank you <br />For inspiring me to sing this Blues <br /> <br />Buddha Death, I wake with you <br />Dharma Death, your mind is new <br />Sangha Death, we'll work it through <br /> <br />Suffering is what was born <br />Ignorance made me forlorn <br />Tearful truths I cannot scorn <br /> <br />Father Breath once more farewell <br />Birth you gave was no thing ill <br />My heart is still, as time will tell.<br /><br />Allen Ginsberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/father-death-blues-don-t-grow-old-part-v/
