The Others and the Living Dead
by Sabrina Dawkins
A Cole seer
will give you the dispassionate facts:
“I see dead people.”
It’s a Sixth Sense.
They walk around with the glazed eyes
of a dead body frozen in surprise
just before it met its demise
in the presence of a demon.
But for pity one has no time
because a severed snake head still bites.
Don’t underestimate Satan.
He scares you with a fiery hell
in his false churches,
but hell has already come.
You must read bible verses;
not just literal.
Pornography shown
in public movie theaters.
It’s a monster’s ball,
fun adventure,
for the deceased to gather
and the living to stumble
and live vicariously
through every sin imaginable.
A Guide for the Recently Deceased

displayed on the screen
so they acclimate to their environment
of spiritual filth and a sense of being free
to sin and die again
for all eternity.
They died before hitting the dirt
like a plant just plucked
still deep green.
They gave in
to beast instinct,
to temptations, false philosophies,
artificial soap that doesn’t clean
in religions from the East
book covers bright orange,
and became one with burning flesh
and fed it food that doesn’t last.
They neglected the spirit,
which requires the right food:
living water,
bread that came from heaven
which they rejected
for the silver screen, fueled addictions,
numerous philosophies, secular music
to drift away with,
that gave them
many ways, many paths
to earn payment for sin.
A funeral program is printed,
but the date after the dash is not there,
a blank left instead.
In the movie The Others,
“Sometimes the world of the living
gets mixed up with the world of the dead.”
