i’ve been quite emotional recently, 

probably due to the season

i at first considered your words stoically

in them, i found reason

then i heard you died

and i cried

there was something i couldn't comprehend

was barely moving then, next to some tree

i considered your end,

wondering if you ever felt free

you were trapped behind bars for so long

you sat in the yard, someone was singing a song

someone came to you and asked a peculiar question

when you gave your answer, i couldn't see the whole lesson

but there i was walking, 

one foot in front of the other with a background of talking

my eyes started to water, and i tried to hold back

but i thought of you, outside by that track

i’m sorry that i only know you now

i would’ve loved to talk with you, though i’m unsure how

i hope you did get your wish,

that you are happy and eating from a big dish

the world is so unfair sometimes

there are days when I can’t help but respond in kind

thinking about you, and your crimes

well, it makes me think my values need to be redefined

you were free to be

you, and she

interesting, that word "free"

clearly it's no guarantee

for paltry reason, your hands they tie

for no reason, you die

for there you lie

for the world without reason, i cry
