Reincarnation Blues

Canto VI


We'll meet again some day somewhere
The songsters sing, the lovers cry,
As though they knew or even cared,
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 is a pretty good start.
To reject him though is also done
By putting the donkey before the cart:
It's not His fault the bad guys won.

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

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