The Coffin Sways

The coffin sways; The people grumbles; Popping out drinks to libation, Pacifying with the ancestors to receive the deceased; As so is thought of the content in the coffin Unwilling to depart into the grave: The coffin sways, and what is thought dead, Has awakened from a long lasting coma; Kicking and shouting so loud, but no one could possibly hear. The coffin rest on holds of the family: swaying, and who cares.
