The Messenger


darkness permeates the room
crawls down the walls
squirms across the floor,
floating in air, we are the only
available source of light...
we are the dead souls who have
returned for a visit, seeing the
the nature of our death firsthand,
life no long lives inside these
walls as it once had done, 
mocking those who had died
earlier for not having the
ability to survive...  realizing
now that death cannot be
avoided regardless the wealth
or the promises made earlier,
we are the new rules of the road
and the new generation has
found reason to expel us from
life as if we never had existed.
