Poem

There is an old cemetery in my city full of legends,
   and stories, one I find creepy is people being buried alive;
        back in the day there were many buried prematurely,
according to tales, once there was an earthquake and caskets;
were discovered with scratch marks on the inside of the lids.
   There were even stories of people waking up during embalming,
        I guess the determination of death back then was questionable.

The fear was so real for the wealthy and paranoid,
   they purchased "safety caskets"  so just in case they could signal; 
        from the inside to the outside world by ringing a bell,
or raising a flag to say, I'm alive here six feet down, please hurry!
                          So the legend says.
