DEATH Poem: We Know How To Die, by J.V. Sadler

We already know how to die
We don’t need tutorials,
how-tos, diys, or instruction manuals.
We know how to lie in the grass
and let the dirt consume us.
Let fire ants crawl into our crevices.

What we need to learn, though,
is how to live. How to enjoy
the taste of sweet potato pie
without the impending doom of

GLOBAL
WARMING

How do we get on our knees
and pray to our lord after
Sonya
was killed after calling His name?

We know how to die
real good

Gold star

Good job
