No sooner
Done the deed
They always proceed
To feed.
One buries one's dead --
The mourners are fed
Joseph they throw in the pit --
And sat to break bread.
As if the chow
Answers somehow
The vehement protest
Of the fellow laid to rest
And is a fitting reply
To drown the cry
Of a brother cast to die...
