------Falling Down------
People live,
and people die
I've often stopped
and wondered
why?
Are we like
a blade of grass
growing alone
or all in a mass?
And when that
blade
finally falls,
does it really
matter at all?
Another will
grow
and take that spot
soon after it's
fallen
the blade of grass
is
forgot.
