I am Dead

I am dead.
My mother will miss me.
I am dead.
I was alive yesterday. 
I am dead.
They said their babies died.
I am dead.
I did not know it was not a toy.
I am dead.
I did not cry. There was no time.
I am dead.
Bathed in blood, I fell.
I am dead.
The Earth is cold, coffin small.
I am dead
Dead in the name of God.
I am dead.
I was a schoolboy in class.
I am dead.
When I meet God. I'll ask, 'why?'
I am dead.
