Vey is me

I am reminded today by several factors, one will be wearing a full death suit on my annual fur protest outside the bay, the other, well there are plenty.....

 

 
 
 
Vey is me, vey is me,
I cannot, I will not see,
But the grim reaper,
 
I can feel him though,
He’s but just too slow, running,
Though, very cunning,
 
Waits till I’m exhausted,
Lays his hand over my mouth,
There, there now,
 
Grinning all the while,
Gold coins I reach to him,
With feeble hands,
 
Take them with you,
The earth has been missing them,
She’ll hug you closely,
 
Until the grave robbers,
Or the mining giants dig again,
She’ll have them back,
 
Leave no marker,
Then you’re bones, and her gold,
All be forgotten,
 
Leave no marker,
Your ego will not betray you,
Rest in peace, maybe©27/11/2009

dare not trip Jasmin -- he is relentless and will eventually reach out and touch us all -- I am proud of the work you do to protest the slaughters of pure man made greed -- peace and love to you my friend -- Jon Michael

The death images, your feelings for the earth, and your pluck in protesting the baby fur seal massacre certainly show through in this, Jasmin. As Ed says, keep on keepin' on. We can't spare people like you......Jerry

Wow! Do you really engage in protests? The thing that almost killed me in "Earthlings," although all of it is horrific, was the part about fur. I really admire you for this activity of protest.

Watch out for that fellow with the funny blade on a stick, the only way to twist his tail but good is staying healthy, chicken soup and flu shots will make him frustrated mad! (LOL)

You are such a great example of what it takes to be a steadfast defender of animal rights,and a protester of killing for fur and profit. I admure your grit,Jawmin!

I'm having trouble with this one, Jasmin, but I do love the images and the expression.

It's true...
"Leave no marker,
Your ego will not betray you,
Rest in peace, maybe"

The one thing you can not take past the grave is your ego. Thought provoking write.

Some is rhyming some is not. I have no idea where you're going with this one Jasmin!
But ....That's what I like about it!
