[Poem] The Old Carriage House

House of shadows

House of gloom

House of haunting

House of doom



Deep in the old south

By daylights dawn

There is an old house

With a well kept lawn



By day the offer cheesy tours

And speak of haunted houses

Madame Flyffadore 

And all nine of her widowing spouses



How shocking and how scandalous

She shows up at half past nine

She loves the afterlife attention

For her its fear based cheese and wine



What she wont tell you

Is where she dare not go

Above the old servant quarters

For there's a sin she knows



We celebrate the rich old folk

And only just now tallied small

But in the larger scheme of things 

Money dragons matter not at all



In infinite shadow the worlds do echo

In worlds where the Black Rook does not provide

There is a haunting legacy

That marks the bleeding bloody class divide



For there are many ghosts there

Outdoors and still inside

For in am unkept afterlife

Infant mortality true power does pecking rights decide



A ghost monster made of babies

Arms and legs and face

It walks inside the carriage house

Keeping their killers in their place



It isnt unresolved trauma

That keeps them from moving on

Its the sings of greed and class neglect

Thats a prison for fucking bastards so put upon



There is a sharpened timer

A clock of guillotines

In this or sny other world

The awful rich ate where this leans



There will be a reckoning

In this life or the next

Happy Halloween to normal folks 

And fucking rich affluenza freaks watch your necks



House of shadows

House of gloom

House of haunting

House of doom
