Underground by April BroeckxA Poem by aprilbroeckxThy hand lay white and cold beneath the soil Sharing it with the others You were once alive and rich with oil They are now your only brothers Smothering yourself in dispare Slowly your body is no more For this there is no repair You wish, you wish to be on that shore Lying warm under the sun Smelling all the salty air Oh, how that would be fun And after all of this, who would care? Slowly, slowly, you are laid to rest Underneath your family crest.
