Every living being

Obeys the natures law

To die and decompose

To become earth once more

Algor mortis fades

My corpse is cold and stiff

Cells self-destruct

The autolysis begins

Scavengers have gathered

To feast on my remains

Insects lay their eggs

For me to incubate

I putrefy!

Bloated appearance displays my cadaver

Putrid fumes fill the air

A pool of liquefied abdomen

The skull shows almost bare

Where my brains used to reside

Replaced with bacterial slime

Rot and pus nourish the fungi

Maggots hatch and start to thrive

Fluids purging from me infect the soil

Everything around me begins to spoil

And turn foul!

Only bones are left to show

I was from this world

Finally, I have gone the circle

And returned to nature

I have been set free

Of my earthly burdens

I have degraded

Into the simplest matter

I have decayed

My soul left in dismay

I have become one

With the earth below

I have become one

With the earth below
