The Damned

A poem about the nature of the rotting corpse and death.

Roving through deaths disease.
Waiting for the innocent to be captured.
To be strung along with the corpses of life.
Bodies together in evil misery.
Caught in a web of lies and deceit.
Exploding with maggots
to eat the diseased flesh exposed.

Cloth sticking to splintered bones.
Eyes sunken in laughing skulls.
Fingers relaxed and dried to crackling.
A mouth forever crying.

Deaths' defiance gives tribute to man.
A corpse bleeding into the earth.
Boiling to a point of no substance.
Smelling of decay.
Reeking of dishonesty.
Sunlight never favors the damned.
