Apr 16
Here lies the dead wishes of men
once alive
the dense shrubs hide the pain
weeds thrive.
Here lies a grieving heart
once much joyous
the windows are broken and hurt
bricks break like glass.
Here lies the power of wealth
once pompous
now in ruined health
seems it wasn't all that precious.
Here lies the remains of heydays
once vibrant
with bones the jackal plays
reminds time is a tyrant.
Here lies moss on the wall
once finely painted
now dark and dull
the air is serpent scented.
