Ghost
Lost in the world unknown
No place to call a comfortable home
Empty hands and forlorn eyes
Lonely, floating through the sky
Ghost
Left alone before you died
In the hospital bed
No family left
No one to mourn you
Ghost
There was hope
You never felt
There was life
You never lived
Opportunities displaced by fear
Ghost
Your legacy is hollow
I don’t seek to follow
Potential hung around your neck
Like a noose
Ghost
The lessons never learned
The stones never turned
Where was your foundation
Was it built in stone or sand
Ghost
A wasted life is one without fire
A wasted life is one given to the flesh desire
Closed eyes and open hands
Beneath the banner
Ghost
You reap what was sowed
You’re never owed by the grace
That was always there
Fall through the sky and say goodbye
As the body hits the ground
