Shed a Tear
Shed a tear for the deceased
put to rest six feet deep
now the attempts are put aside
to truly live against the tide
this empty shroud of could have been
still the shell walks the earth
a husk pretending to be whole
even though the best is gone
while the others dance on graves
exclaiming perversion has been laid
put to ground as dogma states
is the way of holy grace
sharp ridicule filled with disgust
in this world that few may trust
celebrates the hollow victory
the walking dead in mimicry.
