Name On a Grave Stone
Moss covered algae ridden
Memorials, to mans earthly existance
Stand ivy clad in rows
Names eaten away by time
and dates long gone
all faded into one.
No flowers or notes to say i loved you
just brambles and weeds in flower
dog walkers and ramblers walk by.
oblivious to even your existance
Eternity awaits them too
as the generations pass by
you as a memory lose all importance
you are just a name on a grave stone
in a cemetery full of names
the end
I was walking through Crewe's old cemetry big memorials of once important people who's grave stones now lay derelict and unloved hence the poem
ps Q : how do you make god laugh
A: tell him your plans
