Young For Death For Cynicism Poem by Derek ThomasRymer

Young For Death For Cynicism



He taught me something
poor little Billy
nine, my age too.
Gently letting go

he turned nice
smile kind words
no complaints and
his hair dropped out.

I woke in the night
to see him wrapped
like a mummy one
nurse crying one angry.

I learned that death
wasn't good for me
and that anyway it's
the easy way out.
