Do not go loudly out of the room,
slip ever so gently away.
If they know you are gone,
they won’t leave you alone.
Move swiftly away from the light.
Do not stand up when others are down,
let no one see you shine out.
If they spy you on high,
they’ll slice you apart.
Move swiftly away from the light.
Do not die out before you are born,
nor choke your voice from song.
If you spend your talents
buying time and deceit,
there’ll be nothing of you to remember
when we shovel wet soil on your grave.
