Death's Plight

A wisp of light, formed from a death,

A soul becomes a ghost

A voice with barely veiled scorn,

Now tells him of his boast

The voice, he said, was called to speak

To tell man where they'll go

Mocks him now with prayers of hope,

Ghost's one and only foe

To save the soul, declaring "truths"

The dead ne'er sold nor bought

The ghost, he sneers, and tries to laugh

Realizing what he's got

He hears the hopes and dreams mankind

Has littered on his grave

The speech, paid for with greed and gold,

To send him on his way

All lies proclaimed upon his death,

A funeral pyre he deems

The irony of faith, of God,

That all's not as it seems.
