Lorenz

Fellows of the gallows

Hanging outside the city walls ,

defiling it with your endless impurity 

for all eternity mortified ...

 Your court is that of scavengers ,

steeped in the pestilence of sin .

 King ,amused by his jester\'s antics 

grants only pardon to this insolent !

 The mendicant knows no mercy .

The opulent  no compassion .

 Knot tied around the neck  

as a terminal  resting place .

 Priest  who does not offer your remains ,

illusion of light and salvation of faith...

Soul so wretched that even 

the prince of embers pays no attention...

Poor ill -fated  object ,by mother destiny rejected !

You fought the plague-stricken for your daily bread...

Poet, will you so kind as to compose a few verses 

in honor of the somber beauty of my rotting belly ?

In homage to your distinguished scents,

necrophagous pages display their most iridescent plumage...

Companions ,who ,with your hollow eyes 

keep watch in the moonlight .

Infortunate brothers ,in your gracious aeropage,

I would refrain from smelly  exuberance ,

so as not to disturb your scholarly silence !

 Your grimacing lips spit out the fetid nectar 

of divine banishment .

 Meager leftovers mourning in the chill of ages.

  drink it - this is the bitter vinager of punishment !

 Worthless dismembered bodies dancing 

on the infamous gallows ! 

 starving  dogs feasting at the last supper...

Right there passerby ,at your eager feet ,

wander the forgotten  spirits 

deprived of the last judgment ! 

  To whom the lord denies entry in his paradise...
