The Ghoul

Who do we have here? Here she comes to steal from me as I lay in my coffin,
Cards,conversation inserting herself in,
Yes the beloved I knew them,stating all her lies,
Good deeds she claimed to have done for the deceased,
Pronouncing her judgement on the helpless dead,
Beating the bereaved,monopolizing the room,
Eyes bright with excitement,she records the look of the room,
The number of people attending,how many flowers received,
Tomorrow she will have her subject of the day,
Announcing to one and all in hushed tones,
She pastes yet another obituary notice in her photo album of stars,
The day was about her as others will be,
A visit to her bed post nightly is what’s coming,
Maybe I’m not so helpless after all.

I gotta admit, Barbara.
I saw the word "Ghoul" and I just couldn't resist reading this.
I'm really glad I did because it's very good.
I believe there are some things so powerful they have the ability to transcend the cold, cruel confines of death and the grave.
Like hatred and vengeance, for example.
