Memento Mori

Memento Mori

A Poem by spence
"

Remember you will die.

"

 

The vigour of mortis
Corpses contorted
Lifetimes distorted
While war has its way
 
Marching like cattle
Sent forth into battle
Hear the death rattle
The ending of days
 
Kings place their Aces
Pawns move to places
Where Knights joust at races
The terror at play
 
The times are a changing
False freedom’s are fading
Those home fires raging
The whole world will pay
