In A Better Place Poem by Barry Middleton

In A Better Place



The shadow can be larger
than the man.

Why this is so
is hard to understand.

The man, once laid
into the darkened grave,

retains the qualities
we wish to save.

All his weakness
and his every fault

is locked away
within the coffin's vault.

So seldom may we hear
the eulogy,

reflective of the rogue
he used to be.
