Flashing Light
A light is flashing
Through the tears blinding my eyes
You got attention
The shrouded body
of the man you used to be
Now gone forever more
You didn’t think this
through, the end result, final
Point of no return
What of those behind
Fatherless children, wife too
young to be alone
You selfish bastard
You took the easy way out
What if we all did?
The flashing light, gone
No more tears left to fall, we
still have to go on
