Tell the dead
How much you love them
After they died
Tell the dead
You forgive them
For all the mistakes you’ve made
Tell the dead
You often think of them
Whenever you find the time
Tell the dead
You’re gotten happier
Living without their ideals
Tell the dead
The virus that killed them
Was never a threat
Tell the dead
The rising seas, the dying leaves
All of it was their fault
Tell the dead
Dead animals don’t affect you
Unless they’re on your plate
Tell the dead
You don’t plan to join them
New tech will save your hide
Tell the dead
You need their graveyards
The shore has reached your home
Tell the dead
You’ve no more to tell them
But they’ve got lots to say
They’re waiting to speak to you now
Face to face
