The last ship
The brown box of sorrow
Placed in that dull room
I stood there hoping to see you again
Tears filled my face ,
People whining and crying
Some stood around that brown box
You were immobile,
I wished to see your countenance
You were unrecognizable
The brown box of sorrow
Kept your cadaver
We accompanied you to your last room
Room without light
People roaming around the grass of your room
You were inside and immobile
