Ode to the After-Life


On the night of dying days

Night men smoke their hours away

Beauty queens take their light of day

Succubus smile succubus kiss

Succubus giveth death to unborn kid

She taunts with puckered lips and pretty smile

She laughs at him and his confusion

He sings of love

She sings of stealing life-

Of giving him misery for misery’s sake

He wants love

She wants his crucifixion
