Weeping voices cry in the street,
a steady, flowing beat.
No one seems to see,
the shimmer of the setting sun.

A procession walks through the town,
Towards the grave where the coffin will go down.
Solemn voices bumble like a bee,
Towards the grave with a praying nun

Questions zoom through the crowd,
Will we pray quietly or loud?
What will provide dignity,
To the man we lay down?
