Analysis of What



Statements made are like graves

They are of a defining nature
although tombstones engraved shall turn to sand,
sentenced to a beautiful beach where juries of souls indulging freedom go on their off days to rot away
such as prisoners do.

Judgment passed lies on the grass
of bloodless houses
where a man and another man
bound by their hands
are shot on a lawn.

Humanity counts time
as life passes us
while a woman who lives
gets passed by a bus.

Children of the earth look into skies
fully knowing far back in their minds
that they are loving, one day they will die
