Fear of Death

They tell me I’m God
What’ll happen when I go?
The minions all depend on me
I see helplessness, tears flow

It’s all darkness out there
I cannot hear, I cannot see
I see helplessness, tears flow
The minions all depend on me

I can’t wield power, I can’t roar
Who will reap what I did sow?
The minions all depend on me
I see helplessness, tears flow

Helpless I feel, tears are mine
It’s not them, but it’s just me
I see helplessness, tears flow
The minions all depend on me

    1. I’ve seen dogs accept that the end is near, and take it gracefully. Yet they mourn other deaths in the family (they may not eat for 1-2 days and stay quiet). We don’t know what they are thinking about.
