The dilapidated chapel tolled its dirge.
Inside an old woman lay in a coffin.
No mourners came to pay their respects.
So easily forgotten by those
Who needed her most in days of old,
All relatives who should know better.
Now they had no money to inherit.
So they had long dismissed her from her needs.
Except for one who was her carer
And felt such pity to see her go.
Alone she lay there.
Death is irrevocable.
A poor woman gone
Hardly a decent coffin.
Let the small bells toll.
Not for the contest
