Dust to Dust Date: Friday, 2nd January 2004 @ 06:36:38 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: a_t0rtured_s0ul The rotting carcass slowly turns to dust, It spent very little time on earth. The shovel breaks earth's frozen crust, He died 2 years, 2 months, 2 days after his birth. The poor little carcass was beaten to a bloody pulp, The rotting carcass slowly turns to dust. He's covered with bruises dark as night, Eyes bugging out, too skinny for a 2 year old. If this is the life he was to live, Perhaps little Timmy is better off dead. The rotting carcass slowly turns to dust, Be glad, he's well cared for now. Allowed to run and play, Like never before, though his abuser is free to walk about as; The rotting carcass slowly turns to dust.
