Vanity

VANITY Vanities! Oh vanity the things we see! Heaps and heaps we heap, Dead we drop still, Buried six feet deep. Will the living… Will they cry for your corpse? Will they praise your cause? Which and which they do, The corpse stayed cursed, Buried not to return. Will the dead… Will they welcome you Will they embrace you? Will they spit at your return, Your stink upon their restful sleep? Whichever they do… The dead don’t make amend
