You never thought this day would come–
\nNow your eyes have lost all their light;
\nYour image will turn to dust soon,
\nYour tongue shall have no words to cite.<\/p>\n
Once the Angel of Death descends,
\nAll help your parents can give ends;
\nThe combined power of your friends
\nCannot withstand that Angel’s might.<\/p>\n
To the Wise Man your son will go.
\nWord will be sent to friend and foe;
\nLast-ditch repentance or sorrow
\nCould not even help you a mite.<\/p>\n
There will be a man to bathe you,
\nWhile one pours water to lave you,
\nAnd then the shroud man to swathe you–
\nBut none will care about your plight.<\/p>\n
On a wooden horse you will sit:
\nIt will carry you to your pit–
\nDown into the ground your casket
\nWill go, and you’ll drop out of sight.<\/p>\n
For three days they will sit it out–
\nTo settle your affairs, no doubt;
\nYou will be all they talk about.
\nAfter that, their lips will stay tight.<\/p>\n
You’re better off, mystic Yunus,
\nTo give advice to yourself thus:
\nCreatures of today make no use
\nOf good advice, don’t think they might.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
