Skeletons

65 20 6
                                    

Mislaid are the souls

Raddled in the ecstasy

Blinded by the pulchritude of life

And dampened are the screems of conscience

Neglected are the monition signs

'Oh my dear fellow', asks the soul,
'How will you recoup
when your habits preclude it?

Time has flown by
And now that you are on your
death bed
I never wanted you to be just a
Skeleton when you die
But now, it's decided.'
