Old Skeletons New Demons

The bones ache, the brains muddled

The ears blocked, the person’s fuddled

Old skeletons of the person’s past danced away

In her fuddled and muddled mind in disarray.

Away in the misty shadowy corners of the mind

Once she was a girl, good and proper

With a brother, mother and father

Then she was alone, the family lost

No mother, no brother, the skeletons lock

Away in the hidden corners of the mind

Once she was a wife, moral and proper

With sons, daughters and husband altogether

Then she was alone, the family lost

No husband, no daughters, the skeletons lock

Away in the far corner of the mind

Once she was a mother, strict and proper

With sons, to feed, cloth and keep together

Then she was alone, the family lost

No one to care about her, the skeletons lock

Away in the far corner of the mind

Now she is alone, abandon altogether

With sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons together

Still she remains alone, the family lost

No one able to face, the skeletons lock

Away in the recess corners of their mind.

The bones ache, the brains muddled

The ears blocked, the person is fuddled

Old skeletons dance with demons new

Looming large, the demons grew

Within the, muddled and fuddled mind.

Old skeletons once locked, now rattled

In a mind now lost, muddled and fuddled

Old skeletons once buried, now uncovered

New demons grew from skeletons uncovered

Within the muddled and fuddled mind.

New shadowy demons from old skeletons, now danced,

In a mind now lost, muddled and fuddled

Old skeletons, new demons fused and gathered together

No one to trust, no one to care altogether

A person lost in her muddled and fuddled mind.

So a tragic tale of old skeletons, Rattling and toxic

From there new demons breed, festering and acid

New demons borne from bones of skeletons past

No one care nor brave enough to bare the past

Of an Aged, Muddled and Fuddled mind.
