in Mardi Gras parade of life around the world
it is always star back bone carrying heavy burden
with his mate funny bone joking lightening load
life does not have to be a burden load
think wisely support share community load
walk long straight an honest justice road
misfortune is often paved with hate
or too little done by too few too late
urgent needs are best done well not late
all the bones paraded past
in splints in casts broken
all bones bearing burden
bones groaning under weight
parade duty sentenced life affliction
bearing responsibility jurisdiction
this was bones Mardi Gras parade of life
this proof forensic consequences of life strife
this accidents mishaps markings of de knife
