When Sorrow Strikes
Zealous Frank 2000 (Nigeria)
When her fangs strike near
Memories conflict with sadness
Sorrow becomes the new normal
Morbidity set off as the rising topic
You'd bet wisdom saw right into this
When she considered all as vanity
For no word is comforting
Geniality is now a stranger to their vicinity
Pain and depression is all they see
Tears and sorrow is all they perceive
Your sympathy will go a long way
Because now,
They possess a little understanding
As to why the alphabet ends with the letter Z.
