The Ghoul's Lament

by mmpratt99

Why am I hung in chains,

For the crows who peck my eyes,

And delve with black beaks into my brains?

Lies! The crimes they blame on me, all lies.

I never harmed a living man, I killed no one.

I merely took what I found in the ground,

I always returned the bones when I was done.

No harm did I, but fiend and Hell Hound

You called me, monster and ghoul.

The body, is nothing after the soul has left,

If not I then the worms. Why need you be so cruel?
