I have no reason.



I have no reason. 

I went to the mouth of a graveyard. I seen people all around with tears in their eyes. I seen a tiny white coffin with a baby inside. I seen death all around, with no place to hide. I looked into my dog's eyes, and she knew she was going to die. There were no more rides through the countryside. I can smell it, think it, and breathe it. But I can't believe it. I saw a car crash, and the people were in pieces. There has to be a reason. I guess it was not the season. My heart was broken and not a word was spoken. Then the silence was broken and I got my token.

About this poem

This is a true poem I work for a burial vault place and this stuff did happen. The tiny white coffin was the worst. It's still haunts me. It's raw and I don't like the real grammar spoils it.
