Living carcass, rotting day by day

Blistered burning gashes all over the skin's surface

Oozing blood, pus and bile

Trapped eternally, reeking half dead shell

Hardly living, not quite dead

A horrid purgatory of the nuclear age

By the crawling seconds, my insides betray me through putrefaction

onlookers gasp and gawk at the melting man, decaying in the cot before them

Scalding vomit boiling to the surface

The last of what was me, ejected from this carcass

for the love of god, or what is left of thee

Cease this torture

Let me be one with this sodden earth already
