Whole in death

Chris Chaput        Whole in death
1996



The blood flows from the open wound,
like water down the fall,
your body collapses to the ground,
your heart stops
life is gone.

the pain you caused
the hurt you brought
the sorrow you bestow
cannot be equalled
by the peace you've found,
six feet underground

destiny detailed
your fate for the sins
you committed everyday,
your death slightly repays these sins
leaving you to rot
your corpse decaying underground
flesh falls from your bones.
