Death Will Take It Back

By Nici

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Bodies Bodies,everywhere How does the stench of rotten flesh not keep one from sleeping? The cold night air whispers hatred The dead walk the grounds They search for their remains The spirit of the dead Will rise to their vengeance The bodies will be claimed The lake will be drained Only the man who tried to hide Will be dragged into the swamp.
