Living through Death

 

A month’s a long time

Call it eternity if you will

An eternity living in hell

As silence ensues

As darkness surrounds

Beliefs and hopes and dreams

Die  torturous deaths

Life trudges on, sluggish

Uncertain steps lead to

Horrendous futures.

 

Each day a hundred die un lamented

None has time for the dying

Those dregs of society

The unproductive lot

Cowards that give up

The useless homeless crowd

O the relief of joining

Their community of nonentities

Dying a dog’s death,

Welcome relief from misery of living.

 

No escape for those with pride

For them the show goes on

Apparently alive, though dead

No heart, no emotion, no future

A carcass walking the roads of life

Unable to exit, unwilling to live

Killed by lack of one voice.
