before the paupers grave

Before The 

Paupers Grave.

+++++++++++

It is Here

(before 

A Paupers 

Grave)

that I find

Paradise..

when The

Weeping

Dead come

Marching.

(to scratch

out their 

Bleeding 

Eyes!

+++

My Head

was Poisoned

early by 

Fake Hugs,

and Beauty's

Plastic Laugh..

but I blame

Those Angels
in a hurry!

(too busy

to look 

back.)

+++

Oh! A Jester

who dies at 

The Hands of

Boredom,..

should never

Champion

such a Cause.

(since The Jokes

he casts Before

Them seldom

get their Due

Applause.)

+++

It is also Here..

(before The

Paupers Grave)

I find True Hell!!

For when I
dig (and dare
to Face The
Knave.)

I come to 

Realize.

(that I'm

Looking at

Myself.)
