Nice one, Kenny.
I don't know what kind of a mood I was in when I wrote this a quarter of a century ago, but I present it without comment. It's a song, really. One that I'm rather pleased with the piano part. I'll have to record it someday.
Life, Be Not Proud / W.T. Sharpe, 1987
Life, be not proud.
One waking moment, then we sleep
And life shall be no more Life, thou shalt go down to the deep.
Jesus is dead.
I wish you'd get this through your head.
If he could be here right now, He'd agree with what I've said.
Oh, how I wish that I could make you see -
But then, where would you be?
You'd be like me.
Oh, how I wish that I could make you see -
But then, where would you be?
Oh, how I wish that I could make you see Death, Thou art King,
And of Thy praises I will sing.
Other gods come and go, But you forever rule all things.

I believe one of our members uses that in his signature.
