Reincarnation Blues – Canto VI

by Frank Thomas Smith

We'll meet again some day somewhere
The songsters sing, the lovers cry,
As though they knew or even care,
Forgetting that we all must die,

Some day, somehow, somewhere, some place.
Little do they know it's true
That we all must meet somewhere in space
Although in bodies ever new.

To believe in God's a pretty good start,
To reject him though is also done.
Don't put the donkey before the cart:
It's not His fault we use the gun.

You wonder why she died so young
So good, so beautiful, so loved by you,
A love alas not lasting long,
Laced with pain pouring through.

I know, I know, it doesn't seem fair
Perhaps it isn't, but who are we
To Judge? Who are we to care?
Time is loosely long you see.

It's time now to dry your tears,
There's nothing more to win or lose,
At least not now as the ending nears
And the Reincarnation Blues riffs the rules.
