Lots of years incarcerated
and I was not well I must have been taken away
that day when I fell For years I recounted the
deeds I had done Evils to friends and family,
to strangers, just for the fun So I had never thought I
would get beyond the gate Except, I opened my eyes,
old and bent, in this new state Nothing familiar but the
constant cries The heat of the day melt the
tears from my eyes Each moment seemed to get
hotter and I was dying with thirst No one brought me a drink
then I pondered, which place was worst Couldn’t sleep, I didn’t
find a place to rest my head Eventually, friends came
crying - but how? They were all long dead! |
