Life's Lies

Rugged stone tombs lay beside me
Fog
slithers
in through the opening of the gate
We step on bodies, depriving them of their peace
We are intruders, not welcome by the people underneath

The howling wind
carries the voices of the lost souls
Soon all that’s left is silence.

I wandered longing to figure out the lives before me
Although, one mark can make somebodies life into a lie
These are answers we will never know

Bodies wilt among us spooking some kids out
For this is where the dead watch and the living seek.

I was inspried to write this piece when my school went on a trip to Savannah. We went through the Savannah cemetary and I wrote this poem when I returned home.
