This is my Twenty Fourth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

Eventually, all that is left is the bones.

The music I have chosen is "Slow Death" by The Flamin Groovies if only for the lines

"There's nothing I Can Prescribe

To Keep Your Rotting Bag of Bones Alive"

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€

Your Bones Are White, The Flesh Is Stripped

You Felt Searing Pain, Hooks Did Rip

Consumed By Black Carrion Crows

Ripped Apart By Their Cruel Claws

πŸ–€πŸ’€

Your Bones Are Split, Leaking Marrow

Your Pain Intense, Beyond Sorrow

Vultures Strip The Meat That Is Left

Hyena’s Feast On Bloody Flesh

πŸ–€πŸ’€

All That Is Left Are Broken Bones

A Pale Collection, All Alone

Decompose To Ivory Dust

Like Rotting Metal Turns To Rust

πŸ–€πŸ’€

Your Life It Ends You’re All Alone

You’re Nothing But A Pile Of Bones

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€

    There's so much truth to this. Because no matter what we are now, eventually in the end, everyone will just be a pile of bones. Loved this poem!
