PET SEMATARY
John 11
The Raising of Lazarus
‘‘43Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 44And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”’’
~ A reading from John 11:43-44.N.T.
PET SEMATARY
Ancients of days
Hear our pleas
Listen to our cries
Every pang from
The depths
Of our hearts,
Minds, & Souls
The thing watches
Burts out guffawing
Seeing their attempts
At toying with
The other—side
Not satisfied with-
Any demise of
Our loved one(s)
But sometimes
All hell surely
Does break loose
When you toy
Or play around
With…nature..
The natural order
Of life ‘n’ death!
Come one,
Come all
At your
Own expense
To the
Pet Sematary….
Do not
Forget you
Can bring
A friend,
One/Two
Will do
Or even
A fellow
Former partner
Who is now
Back & ready
For action
After the short
Trip to the
Other Side
Even with
Warning signs
Folks never
Seem to listen
Use it at your
Own peril
Be my guest
Go ahead
Make sure
Not to cry
When something
Reaches out to you
Pulling you in a cycle
Of unending use of
The Pet Sematary…
Some places
Things, grounds…..
Need to be left alone
And not used
For our own agendas
To help bring back
That which needs
To be put & left to rest…
The ancestors
Who created
That place
Already knew:
What we bury…
Should be left..
Right in the ground!
Buried, and left to rest…
At least for the time being..
