Isn’t it pathetic?
A lifeless morass
quite ready to stink

It’s now nameless.
The form that just converted
to a spirit without structure, now living in memory

Civilizations have different ways
to get rid of this waste
Some fair, some foul

There was a soul inside
some insist
others shrug

Sad that alive bodies
don’t think much about this final form
to make their present living, a little more pleasant.
