Double A
Triple A
Happy is the day
That the acid dissolves
and with it takes-
You can no longer pray

The car-sized one
Powers the death cage
When he goes
His departure
will fuel a silent rage

The Power of a religious recharge
The Good Will and Dignity
of the outlet
The toss of a coin, the roll of a DIE, a chance, a risk, a bet

The bell's final gong
Awake all night long
a slow, but steady kill
The Answer was right there,
So Simple

a faint hope
What a dope
There is but one answer
All that smoking gives is cancer

When daylight breaks I know
My feelings I mustn't show
a cheerful prancer
and Farewell falls with the snow

Double A
Triple A
Morbid is the day
That the Macabre approaches
For but one day
together we broke bread
In total we took six coaches
By March he will be dead

The author's comments:
I wrote this right before my grandfather died
My mother and I took a train to see him
The "cheerful prancer" is my grandfather's daughter, so my aunt
