Everyone Dies

I have not written a poem for a long time:

EVERYONE DIES

-dedicated to Anthony J Caputo 1946-2026 of Shrewsbury, MA, Bettyann Caputo of Shrewsbury, MA, and Coldwell Banker Realty, Andrew Reck of Wayland Ma and Oakhill Architects for your participation during very painful times.  You won.

"Everyone dies." 
Explaining his selfishness
Placating the other half
Ignoring pain

Was it cowardice
Lack of empathy
Was it so hard
To accept no

Walking away wasn't hard
After the gaslighting
It was recognized
I was done

The sun comes out today
I know what I wanted
Was impossible
"Everyone dies."
