Cemetery Screams

Tread you not upon the hallowed
Ground where those before you yet remain
Granite grim reminders every
Mark we make's ephemeral and vain

Some wisdom can never be taught
Lessons warnings left unheeded
Footpath trodden bare by passage
Missteps bound to be repeated

Oh harken well
What they impart
But bring no grace
To your damned heart

Prosaic tale tired rerun
More litany than touching memoir
Movie's end that you see coming
Every extra thinks that they're the star

Hellscape fractal endless cycle
Boneyard screams unheard by closed ears
Cautions futile ditch to evade
Slomo traincrash of our worst fears

Lockstep lemmings rush the cliffside
Knowing not what fate arrives
Many paths but outcome certain
Great or small in the end none survive
