A nauseous stench fills the air
The atmosphere reeks of decay
Fleshless hands claw at my leg
Bone fingers tear at my skin
Begging for sanctuary
Or pulling me down
Kick out, smashing of skulls
Their bones shatter so easily
A morsel of food lies exposed
And deranged men fight to eat
And upon high, watching, waiting
With one swoop catches the carrion
The crow flies back to its perch
And feast upon its prize
Hungry hands grasp for the food
Human teeth sink into human flesh
There was beauty, once strength in our unity
But we let it slip through our fingers
When we first fought for the fat of the land
Now like animals, we fight for carrion
Now disfigured, so weak in our division
Greedily, we tear at each other's throats
Gorging at the human banquet
It becomes harder to breathe as the stench envelops all.
FEED
Cries of "UNCLEAN" once filled the air
Till all became diseased
The body piles grew in size
As kin refused to bury kin
And as the plants began to die
We turned to each other for food
Head to one side, watching, waiting
The crow squawks as another man dies
Muscley flesh will make a good meal
