The Impound

Gazing upon open fields

where resting transports lie

and quiet imprisons and controls

those captured by tow and cage

The enclose adhere

in cooping pen

where seized until redemption

pays it's toll

while rust casts it's shadow

upon inactive victims

and idle fixtures rest latent

Ne'r one too lush or vagrant low

for each lie side by side

enclosed with shut in allotments

and catacombs of progressive past

Whose vibrant roar deafens

and mighty exploits yield

to fate's promise

where none escape and all are destined

These yielded marble dwellings

for rotting flesh shut within

keeping safe the remnants

of fleshly tabernacles

Who await in plotted ground

beneath in sepulchers of impound

dressed in ornamental sentiments

while lying in state

And thus both rich and poor

charted and uncharted fellows

both female and male without regard

to social status or weight

lie still beneath the dust

from which they came

Awaiting their casket dwellings

the Redeemer for to release

and bring them forth unto new life

and adventures everlasting
