The ground trembles and shakes
As headstones break in half and crypts fall into crevices
Stone barriers crumble at the sound
Detected over many acres,
Within the fences one live person cannot be found
The gate scrapes on the asphalt, turning it to dust
While the rabbits run for cover
Trying their very best
Souls slip out of the coffins and consume
The air they cannot breathe
Since there’s nothing to exhume
Grasping for life, they slip into the sky
Without any traces
Of where they came to die

But as the ground sits still, once more
The souls sit on the lawn
Yearning for another chance, just one
To do it over again
As they look back and know
That they wasted their time
And praying it wasn’t in vain
They only wanted more.
