3 by 3 they carry the casket
The man inside was the one
The one loner
The one who stands by himself
The palbearers are the gravediggers
They are the only ones attending
this funeral
The silence is deafening
Time for the eulogy.....
So where is everyone
The eulogy is being recited
Over the crackling of a tape
recorder
They had to record his eulogy
No family was there
No one around
The priest thought being present
was senseless
Due to the lack of people
No family
No loved ones
No future in the present
Nobody
They lower the casket
Set the man to peaceful rest
By himself, for himself
Nobody was there
