(74) The skeleton

(74) The skeleton.
The skeleton in the graveyard stands erect
like the schoolboy whose answers are correct,
it, with its uncouth figure seems to mock at the flesh,
“ with aroma and acrobatic skill,
with hide and seek and extra fittings,
you plunder and deceive your fellow beings
I stand alone and need to fear none,
you follow the concept that skin to skin,
there is no sin,
hurl the conscience to wind,
the man at the dark corner with a darker idea,
to steal the silk garment on the dead,
Slips and runs and runs too far!”
