Dry Bones

Dry Bones 

death spelt out in the sand,

marble tombstones covering it,

grass, lay a flower or two there,

don't look, don't step on that,

bad luck... 

ghosts coming to haunt you,

marble tombstones cover death,

the beauty on the outside,

the dry bones on the inside,

glassy eyeballs and white skin cover you,

but on the inside, you're no different,

you lay a flower in your hair,

you cover up to look your best,

an appearance of beauty,

dry bones on the inside,

no soul there, no life,

how are you any different from

the graveyard of dry bones?
