A Disinheritance

 

Those who care not for thereafter

care neither for judgement today,

their sentence evoking mere laughter

as they shuffle their coil away.

 

Measure for measure the scales dip and rise

a pound of flesh can mean naught,

to the debtor who plucked sight from his eyes

and was blinded to what he had bought.

 

To strive for reward in a place uncontained

seems an act of wilful demise,

that is only of use to those who remain

beneath ashen funereal skies.
