Viewing The Body Poem by Godiah Imbukuleh

On the queue to see her body
Everyone is sad and quiet
We pity ourselves
Deep down we know
We gonna be viewed soon
Even on this queue
No one knows who's next
And as I view her pathetic darkened face
Inside the beautiful expensive coffin...
I pity myself and my stupid dreams
It's all vanity
She was more beautiful than I'd ever be
But look at her now!
I stand before her for long seconds
No tear in my eye... Just sad thoughts
It's all meaningless
The rat race
Did the people she loved love her back?
