When I Am Gone
Bury me under sand and stone so my ghost can hear the sea
Burn my body away on a distant mountain
and my ashes can blow down to the the city
Bury me under loam and moss among tall, uncaring trees
Butcher me for dogs and cats, cut me up so they can eat
Cut me up so they can thrive, for generations three
Bury me under homes in cities under thick concrete
Let me rise again to defend these people
A revenant of rage that can take back these streets
Bury me somewhere kind, so you remember me.
