After Death

shall i now reveal your name?
i doubt it at first
until you write truthfully for once

he knew from the very start
from the bottom of his heart

but you never learn to believe
that sometimes somewhere the one who fools
you once
shall soon learn what honesty is

he is dying
and you too know it
when all of you come out from your bodies
you shall not anymore remember
