BEYOND THE GRAVE (2)

BEYOND THE GRAVE (2)

Nice to meet you,
He said.
Had no chance
To talk to you
Before I died.

Now that we are
Out of sight,
We can listen
To what
People say about us.

You know,
Am not a sycophant.
But am happy
To hear compliment.

They said,
This sanitary engineer.
Kept clean all these streets.

Let’s give him
A hero’s send off.
The other pompous soul,
Will get the contempt
He deserves.

For he treated
Our engineer,
So terribly that
He ended his life.

The official,
Wanted to speak
But was told to be quiet.

A friend said,
Hear his wife
She seemed delighted.

Her husband gone,
Said loudly,/
Good riddance
Can now enjoy
Myself with
My many lovers.

The husband,.
Almost chocked
And
Finally fainted.

What happened?
My heart ,
Temporarily stopped.

When I heard,
What my wife said.

It is good,
To hide and listen
Like a fly
On the wall.

We heard enough
Let’s knock
At our caskets.
And
Confront
These hypocrites.

Now that we sure.
Who our friends are.
