They That Lived Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

They That Lived

They that lived have died,
The songs, the shells, the whole individual,

The summer lifetime of the rovers, the seekers,
Expedition hunters and the home dwellers,

They died old willingly, unwillingly young or are sad,
Whatever the bacterias, the forms of cancers, asphixations,
Destroyed the breaths curtailled the remaining oxygens in the lungs,

The slowing networks of the whole individual cells,
The malfunctioning of the organs,
Connecting the whole body structure,

They died denying God, they died seeing Gods face,

We are left to gloat, groped and ponder what will death be,
What is the untold revelations,

Spirits would be missing or dangling in the cloud of mists,
While our resting corpses are agreeing with the merging dusts
