THE LAST POST
As I lie here dying
Reality finally sets in
Soon, I shall depart from here
My soul will climb the hills
To the Great Beyond
When the Grim Reaper finally comes
He must not pride in himself
Mighty and dreadful as he may be
Death is but one short sleep
Then eternity in the Great Beyond
By then you shall be reading this poem
Walking away from this mortal
Reciting these verses from my memoirs
My flesh and bones in the custody of dust
In the Garden of Remembrance
In the privacy of your hearts
Are you so afraid
Lest I peek and sight the Promised Land
And be born again
In another world?

I love this poem, a morbid tale, love the darkness of it, great piece!
