Life From Behind Bars Death From Justice

 
You might think
It isn't going to happen
But then there's that pale
Face and churning gut you wished
You would have had the opportunity to
Feel the pain again and be grateful
You had the chance to feel the pain
Versus the execution of your sinister
Plan for the unexpected
 
Death is fragrance
In the air perfumed
With a ghost scented
Of noxious flowers and
Intoxicating embalming fluid
Formaldehyde and methanol
You are decomposing
 
The ones
With a lighter
Sentence of life
Behind bars learn
A new word Immurement
Walling in live entombment
Imprisonment until death
Sealed within without exits

You seem to have greater insight that I for what happens after we are imprisoned by our death. I prefer, nuttin' to the sumpin' that you suggest.

But I guess everyone is wondering about the consequences of how we have lived our lives when things change drastically. Your guess is the good as anyone's.

beautiful expression of a melancholic dim world. and no matter how or what circumstances people are in, it is art that is still going to be wielded from within. people are amazing. you are amazing and always have been wonderful. thank you for this piece.
