The death of a friend
Can leave one devastated
Fate is often cruel
Death robs you of friends
When you least expect it to
Anger fills the void
Why do the good guys
Have to suffer and die young
While the crooks survive
yes...very true.... a sincere poem...loved it. a paradox. thank you.
Strong writing for all three Senyru Sandra. Anger is part of the grieving process, but so hard to get through. I am sorry for your loss too! Thank God for poetry Sandra. love Karin 10
It's quite painful to lose a person whom we are close to, as they are our support, our pillar and strength. It's always the good who go early, which is a life's mystery. It will be tough, but life goes on, as decided by the One Above.
Yes, sandra; even after being aware of human mortality, death of a near or dear one leaves all of us shattered. I think; it still is the cruelest act on surviving ones. Very well written, keep it up!
Who can know the secret of this paradox of life? ....Wonderful poem.......10+++++

In life many questions go unanswered, life can be both happy and sad, to lose someone close is very sad, to lose to an act of violence we always question why. You have expressed your feelings very well in these three senryu's.
