The Last Farewell Poem by I Am Rebel

the final goodbye, is a funeral
you feel you lose them for good
everyone says they are still with you
but deep in your heart, you know they are not

they have gone to be with the Lord
and to live out eternity at peace
watching the earth in raging battle
and laughing at our stupidity

if only we knew what they could see from way up there
maybe we would change the way we live
but of course, we can't, so we don't
and they are left wondering why we are so ignorant

our response, to say, 'how could we have known? '
but deep down, we all felt that something was wrong
yet we didn't know what it was, so we buried it deep
and gave way to the pressure of society and politics

so when we say goodbye to those we love
remember what they will see, when they look down
and think on your actions as you go through life
remember the last farewell, dear friend, and survive
