Barrett Allen Poet I do not know?

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
