The Ballad of Goodman Bones


I am the grim reaper
I am the lost souls keeper
Destined to wear black
which for me is rather a drag
I would prefer some sharp clothes on my bones
and do my work with a mobile phone
Drive a nice automobile
but would you take me for real?
I have a rusty scythe instead
this feared symbol of death
I want to be loved not hated
happy and not frustrated
I want to be proud not ashamed
praised and not to be blamed
I don't want enemies but friends
To smile and to shake hands
I don't want to be disliked but dear
to be welcomed instead of feared
I don't want to be avoided but to be met
To be Life but i am Death
(c)march 1998 by A.Brosi
