METROPOLIS OF THE DEAD:


Row upon row, of tombstones & grey graves,

In drawers & niches, in neat rows & in waves,

The metropolis of the dead, in old cemetery town,

Interred & stored the king, the pauper & the clown.

 

Not for the town´s people, the strange burial places,

Without names on stones, they can´t show their faces,

Not for them, the Pyramid, the Henge, nor top of a tree,

Where their souls are released & allowed to roam free.

 

Freshly packed side by side, all the sinners & the saints,

Neatly aligned in numbers, not to tarnish eyes, nor taint,

When I am dead & gone, please inter me within blue skies,

Let my ashes fly away free, where all the eagles soar & rise.
