Poster shows a man standing upright in an open wooden coffin. The man's eyes are closed and his hands have been crossed and placed at his waist. Two guns and a hat have been placed in the coffin. The man looks to be from the old west. Printed in large black font above the image is "September Song." To the right of the image is a poem by Christopher Logue. The poem reads: "Be not too hard for life is short / And nothing is given to man; / Be not too hard when he is sold and bought / And he must manage as best he can; / Be not too hard when he gladly dies / Defending things he does not own; / Be not too hard when he tells lies / And if his heart is sometimes like a stone / Be not too hard - for soon he dies, / Often no wiser than he began; / Be not too hard for life is short / And nothing is given to man. / Christopher Logue."
