Dehumanizing Inhumation

Welcome to the wake The eulogy emanates and reverberates Through the necrotizing cathedral Open casket, if the dead could see what they reveal True colors through the tears of mourners Some darker or more excremental Like Speaking ill of a tragedian child Fate befell, what more can we tell From the poignant stench Requiem of deepest crestfallenness. What will the silence bring to an unnamed grave; An elegy for a saddened soul, in memory of one we could not save? Lament and regret. Fingers turning black; A lost sentience in rigor mortis.
