Grave Diggers

Grave Diggers Bury me bury me deep deep in a hole a hole with sides so steep leave me there there in the dank and dark to ponder darkly on the sadness besetting all those who’s home and only window is the light rimmed edge of a hole Leave me as you have left me toss me your crusts of pity stand by the brink with your sermons to help me shrink even further bury me bury me here deep in a hole smooth the sheer and slippery sides with self righteous attestations to my unworthiness to my uselessness as a human Bury me deep my friends deep in a hole a hole so deep with steep and trickery sides and there I will keep all your arrogant pretensions safe in the dark safe and sound from the light of day bury me bury me deep

I hear ya brother, I know too many. They do care mostly about one thing, themselves, and it makes them feel so much better to 'bury' as many as they can really. Awesome brilliance. Love, Shar

I agree with Christopher... this is BRILLIANT. I love especially "toss me your crusts of pity". Just amazing... and I think a lot of us can relate to this feeling. There's always those people who want to attest "to my unworthiness to my uselessness as a human" great job!!!

Colin, this is my style brother.. I love the fast pace of the write.. yes they often bury us with their self righteous way of thinking.. making us shrink and become smaller..each word cutting us up in tiny pieces.. this is brilliant
