The Opium of confusion.
Arrrh the opium,
of a high dose of confusion,
married to an even higher dose of shock,
given by reality in a single dose,
enough to send him running to the yard,
dazed and confused in his under pants,
he jumped out of bed to meet her cries,
One moment she had life,
the next moment she lay lifeless,
cold like an ice block,
and nothing could change it,
his beloved daughter now gone,
banished by death from the surface of the earth,
and his only working therapy,
the incomprehensible belief,
that in another world,
a meeting to part no more will come.
