Bodies
Bodies lay beneath the earth
Rotting corpses adorned in suits
Skeletons with no real worth
Underneath the fading stones
Names adorned but hardly read
All the bodies no more than forgotten bones
Silent memories long ago remembered
Lying beneath stones, cold and rotten
Some lay dead by sticks and stones
Others died of broken bones
Lovers quarrels ending bad
Guns and roses they did have
Children lost from mothers embrace
All but thrown from gods grace
Husbands dead from wounded battle
Buried without a true place
Some cut from life before their time
Some died just on time
Others fought the good fight
Although deaths grasp was far too tight
Dead, gone and buried now
All that's left is rotting flesh
Bones and hair forever remain
Never will they see daylight again
