“Rest In Peace” was graven, in the granite at the head- Of six by three of Texas clay, which served to make his bed. “Beloved father, friend to all”, was carved upon the stone- Beneath his native soil tonight, my brother rests alone. “Rest In Peace”? a maudlin thought, he liked to have his fun With others peoples women, till he fell to someone’s gun. Like David said of Abner, he, too, died like a fool- Live like a dog, and die the same, is life’s unwritten rule. “Rest In Peace”? It sounds quite trite. My own choice would have been- “Here lies a victim of his lusts... A casualty of sin”! I loved him deeply, miss him still, will sorrow never cease? But I doubt very seriously, if he will “Rest In Peace”. |
