The City Graveyard
By Mdr
Following closely behind old friends of twoTheir shadows slicing carefree through mine as I trodged behindDrunken on a life that is, yet twined on a life of what wasHumbly, I make my wayThrough a silence meant to be unbroken, I wonder...Do they knowThat no soul here was ever prepared for that which engulfs them nowHere the shells of the young to the old are laid to rest In this makeshift hallowed ground, deep within the city of manThe dreams of the young coupled with the old, lie silenced nowSnuffed out by the noise of the city of manLying here, do they even knowDo they careAn all encompising tomb of quiet blacknessSilent all 'round save the echos of the hordeDeath beetles in swarm, sharing the treasure Alas, the subtle grave wyrms, wrenching slowlyBoast a toast for them this eve, for they'll feastNight after night, they'll feast on what once wasLying here, do they even care Written October 5th, 2001 © on Oct 05 2001 04:03 PM PST 0 • 13
