Maggots

hideous worms

you search for death

a slab of meat

without life or breath

in the heat of the day

the stench of hell

released by decay

an ungodly smell

crawling incessantly to and fro

in search of nutrients

without care for the soul

scouring hungrily

sucking bone dry

without thought

or concern for those who cry

for unbearable loss

they see you as cruel

for their loved one is only a meal

to you
