Ring Around the Roasery

Ring around the rosy, ever wonder where it came from??

Ring around the Rosary,
pocket full of posies,
stench full of death
long skeletal fingers
all clasped around my neck,
feverent ambitions
nothing but a futile quest,
a morose song fills the air,
adding more tumultuous unrest.

Ring around the rosary
for a god that doesn't care,
erroneously unjust,
we heedlessly follow
and even blindly trust.
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust,
searing embraces
sanity lost without a trace

Into the hellfire we go
destine to drown,
ashes to ashes,
we all fall down.
