Ghouls and ghosts

One minute 
On top of the ground 
Next minute beneath 
One minute so damn loud 
Next minute, not one sound
Except for the ghouls and 
The ghosts 
The murderers and the 
Debts of life costs 
One moment on top
Drinking beer 
Walking through the city street 
Next moment 
Into the fear of 
A lily white sheet 
One moment running 
In life’s marathon 
Next moment 
Inside the deadly con 
Smoking cigars 
Drinking whisky 
Everything living 
And everything frisky 
A mistress or two 
A new leather shoe 
Upon the lear jet 
Soaring across a red crimson sky 
Next minute scratching 
Searching for why 
For one minute alive 
Next minute not 
One minute survive 
Then suddenly your lot 
One minute so damn loud 
Next minute,  not one sound
