Grim Reaper | Renee' Drummond-Brown

Alas!
I’m NOT free!
‘Dem’ dear chains
still
LINKED to me.
Slavish mindless flaws
imperfections
boost
their
shortcomings
in all.
‘Iz’ there NO relief?
In HEAVEN
on earth,
nor
this hellish
GRIM reapers grief?
Who’d she coo?
Twasn’t me
must’ve
been you???
Tarry till I come?
Naw
I’ll sojourn
WRITE where I’m from
or
pick up your pieces
in motherland’s cove
‘iz’ there NO relief?
you ‘betta’ ask somebody
who knows???
Death’s plea
just DON’T wait
for me
pretty-please???
—–
Dedicated to: Tarry till I Come.
