The Cortege

Lived life being damned

in death getting adored

 

Extolled to extremities

in past all but abhorred

 

 Dwelled in deprivation

in livery being adorned

 

Hated earlier presence

absence now’s mourned

 

May the dear departed

find final resting place

 

Beyond the life of misery

or any recurring disgrace

 

Duplicitous sort facets

thus truly come to fore

 

Ones wishing putrid end

soul’s salvation implore
