THE COFFIN MAKER'S PRAYER

My sales have dwindled drastically

I have done my best by positioning my business tactically

This was never my dream vocational pathway but that's irrelevant

In so far as it keeps me socio-economically relevant

As my economic sustenance is dependent on humanity's sorrow

Lend me non-returnable gifts that I may not borrow

It's not an easy task to have your livelihood dependent on blight

I need strength to serve professionally as I do not cause plight

I put in a lot of work to get my products right with a chunk of might

Sometimes I fight to hold back my tears upon the image of the perished in sight

I almost quit in an instance when I was called to do a bespoke fitting with a mortician

There lay a promising young life snatched cold and laying stiff as a board, how I wish it was a reckless politician
