Skeleton JusticeA Poem by John ButlerThe skeletons of the Earth,disgusted at their abandonment to the soil,search out and battle for the return of their souls and battle to bring those souls back to share the lonely grave!Six surly skinless skeletons settled Neath a misty moonless sky In judgement of an ignominious slight Upon their betrayed chalk white bones Centuries since and yet to come Upon those old arthrithic frames Flesh and soul had made their home Abandoned them to earths dank clay The soul of each was now sought out Retribution paved the way Stealthily six set out same night 'Avenge!, Avenge! each jaw cried out Gnashing teeth and stone washed skulls Six plus six plus sixty more From more to scores and millions more Till all Earth's earth stirred long stiff bones An army now was on the move Laying seige to the gates of Hell The Heavens too were on the route As every soul was now searched out Flames of fires and heat of Hell Illuminated all those souls In chain and pain and stagnant dwell Bones now rattled and battled hard Avenge! Avenge! their battle cry Seizing each and every soul Marching through the deepest depths Soul and Bones now made their way Back to Earth and earths dank clay All souls' day and all souls' night Scores of skeletons settled scores Heaven held till holding hurt Then emptied all its souls to Earth Souls and Bones now made their way Back to Earth and earths dank clay © 2015 John Butler |
