gravedigger

from the day of your birth
I have been hard at work
scraping away all that lurks
digging your final place on this earth

i do not care about your life
how you died
or how many times you lied
i do not even care about your wife

all you are to me is a hole
just another plot to dig
and a tombstone to rig
digging away like a mole

your life is done
it doesn’t matter who you know
or how much money you throw
i hope those whose holes i have just begun

take heed of his plot
live a full life
do not fear the knife
because in the end all we do is rot

WOW. this stark, visceral and inescapable writing. Real, and raw. And ultimately - chilling because you speak a truth. Well done.
