It Will Not Matter Then

It will not matter then what others of me will say That I worked hard or was lazy in every way For the judgements of others the dead cannot hear The one good thing about death it frees us of all fear And the judgements of others will not matter then If in life I was pigeon holed with the unsuccessful women and men Fair dues to the reaper people he does equalize For their wealth and fame people he does not recognize The unknown one and the one who has only known of fame The egalatarian reaper he treats as the same The tallest of poppies to his scythe must fall And death is not such a bad thing after all And it will not matter then what others say of me Of any sense of guilt I'll be totally free.
