The infamous other side ~ Dave's story

Dave walked toward the city bridge
Earlier he had slammed the fridge
For yesterday he had been fired 
After three long years unemployed and tired 

So walking across after parking his cream car 
Looking across the sky to the one star 
A zombie pulling him to the edge 
Laughing at him all the way across the ledge 

Then he jumped into the water 
From a height no doubt a well planned slaughter 
He had planned to visit the infamous other side 
So he flew like an eagle wings spread wide 

SLAM into the ocean Lord 
Hallowed be thy name (he thought)  
Thy kingdom come 
Thy will be done

When they buried poor Dave
The man no one could save
R.I.P. upon his stone 
Why me?  his eternal groan 

Dave's wife sobbing in prayer: 

"Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen".
