deathcurse219

at 11:49 PM, this sunday evening, my wonderful guinea pig brak passed from this world of unknown causes. she had recently visited the vet for a gastrointestinal infection, but on friday, the vet gave her a clean bill of health and an optimistic view for the future. we had just arrived at the vet's office on an emergency visit when she breathed her last. the wake will be tomorrow at 4:30 and the funeral shortly thereafter. she will be buried on her family plot next to her stillborn son, lil' fella. she is survived by her son lennon, and her daughter harrison, both 1 year old. this one's for you brak.

"another wake, another time, a premature goodbye
i've watched you grow and i've seen you pass
i always knew it wouldn't last
together now we mourn the loss and remember all the fun
we'll drink the beer and hangout where death took another son
so all for one and one for all do we ever wonder why?
though reasons clear, this friend so dear was taken before his time
so may this round be on the corpse of a dead man
with a toast that tells of a love you never shared
so as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved
raise your glass and sing the praise of a fallen soul
many bow their heads for this man they knew so well
with solemn thoughts they drink and drug for a resurrection
(facing death you fear no danger)
while mothers shed their tears through a veil of desparation
these fiends of vicious breed raise holy hell
how many times can fate be chanced, the dice be rolled
is there no path of least resistance for the bold?
shocked and dismayed at how it stole his life
when this fateful course of action takes its toll
now let's all gather round in our costume suits and ties
telling how this soul was a source of inspiration
(love him now, he lives no longer)
but you never tell the tales of the times you turned your back
on this friend who never found the righteous path"
