Old People in the Cemetery

Old people in the cemetery
 what must they be thinking of?
 must be frightening must be scary
 to visit the grave of a close friend
 who was the same age as you when they died
 There's nothing precious about
 old people in the cemetery
 reciting bible passages
 unprepared to come to terms with
 the fact that we're all food for worms
 what do they think a prayer
 could make a difference now?
 There's nothing sadder than
 an old woman in the cemetery
 picking leaves off of her husbands tomb
 Knowing that her only wish is
 that she will die and join him soon
 It's so sad to see them all just wither away,
 there's nothing sadder then old people like that
 It must be hard to relate
 after the world of your youth
 totally evaporates
 Old men in the cemetery
 lurking like faint shadows of the dead
 gazing down at mother's plot
 and longing to be there instead
 it's a dreary fate
 and no one should have to be
 as depressing as old people like that
