Feces Occureth

Alone and naked among the dead,
crawling through charnel tunnels
beneath an eldritch Churchyard
and breathing fumes of putrefication,
here am I

While human, I prayed for immortality,
beseeching each and every Deity
for the privilege of eternal life,
and now, praying for release,
here am I

Worlds are born, Galaxies die,
omnipotent chaos cackles incoherently
while dissolving into primal ooze,
and slithering through this viscous slime,
here am I

Gods devour this flesh
then defecate it back into existence
ultimate humiliation without end
and trying to form it into verse,
here am I
