How skilful yet your monstrous face,

that hides your love and gayer part

from all who dares to try embrace

wwith tender care and open heart.

In solitude you live this life,

this burden self-denial's hate;

that chose you as companion's strife

rremembrance of a happier state

You laugh inside yet snide and bark

to every soul that cross your way

your voice an echo and a lark

when did you choose to go astray?

For was there once a happy child that roamed

these bare and lifeless bones,

you now call home and not so wild

A scarecrow with the sorrow moans?

will there ever be a substitute

to guide you home to fires warm

when all you seek will constitute

to a drop of death and a needle in your arm

Is ever there a moments truth

that seeks your conscience and your mind

to not forget and play aloof

when parent grief and tries to find

You, who were their baby once

thee joyous bundle, gift of love

now dependent on an ounce

of powdered sin on wings of dove.

Or will you grant them just one day

recollection of your childlike grace

wwhen they mourn and bow their heads to pray

for mercy on your covered face?

Wwhen they stand alone at gravesite new

trying to recall your joyous smile

for long has gone the child they knew

as soil covers your last and endless mile.
