Hereafter Shadows
Again I am here.
Here to answer for all
Here to rectify and atone
My life and yours seem burdensome
Beyond the scope of acceptance
But somehow undeniably less than acceptable
I beg you to find your toes in these shadows
Know yourselves amongst the dead!
The thought is unbearable… and laughable
For those that know.... the dead speak not
Their dark places and hidden spaces are not privy to this realm
We hide ourselves in subjugation to clear drink and family but…
Those that know behave as such...
...Believe in the life hereafter…
Because those who are hereafter
must believe despite it
