"Hello Richard Cory" said Richy

"Hello Richard Cory" said Richy

by Mark Kaven Lazaro

Hello Richard, you know
All the things I possess 

Make my burdens grow

I sit on my lofty throne

I eat the most delicious food

I wear the nicest coat 

With my tie and vest

I ride on my coolest car

Friend, you knew it

Hello Richard, you know

All the people I love 

Make my heart breaks.

They come to my mansion

They laugh with me 

They join me riding my car

They said "We love you Rich"

But behind those words

I see their smile which I like not

A dog's smile

Hello Richard, I follow 

what you have said

I live with them now

But I will leave them maybe

in just an hour, minute or second
I'm gone.
For they gave me a deadly wine 

"Hello Richard!"

"Hello Richy what happened?

Why are you here?"
