Thirty Seconds before Eternity

Crying people in black,

Some are just wearing masks.

Yet they are all shedding tears

For someone in a coffin.

My parents were crying,

My ‘friends’ were secretly laughing.

After all, it was a success, their murder,

Which they blamed on an innocent ‘intruder’.

“Your time is up.” Death said.

It was really tough being dead.

My time was too short and Death was too sly,

I couldn’t even say a proper goodbye.
