Notes About The Poem

Musing'...Oh, How Some People Will Go To Great Lengths To Connect With A Person, Only After They Have Departed This World, By Screaming To The World What They Think They Know About Them. Musing'...Claims They Lay Pertaining To Their Closeness Is Disturbing Indeed, To Said Departed.

The Delights of Wisdom

There's no need for heaven,
I have haunting to do,
You left things untidy for me,
How dare you,
Trying to clean up now,
When I can't defend myself,
You scream to the world about me,
You need a mouth washing,
Soap on your tongue,
Clean your filthy lies,
Wisdom comes with a price,
It's cost is more than life,
Yes indeed,
I have some haunting to do,
Heaven can wait.
