Pallbearers

Pallbearers filled the bus
 
Off to funerals in an angry rush
 
It’s the wicked; they say who have no peace

 That’s why the Pallbearers get their release 

They chose to capture all these kind
 
Stifling fear often & following blind 

Praising their maker for the coffee they get 

For it keeps them alive and physically fit
 
Gravestones etched and set aside
 
For those of them who fought and died

 I suggest we find away
 
To corral the ones who have been led astray

 Our focal point has been defaced 

By all the ones who claimed disgrace 

Let’s satisfy their wants and greed 

By doling out just what they need 

When tyrannical freedom tries earning its place
 
It’s the Pallbearers who will be leading the chase
 
So, lock them again in their pristine sleeping cells
 
Then pray they don’t remember their path out of hell
