    Everyone's speeding to the same destination

    Boneyard requiem, that final wormy dance
    From birth to death, cradle to grave,
    Poor bastard never stood a chance.

    From embalmed flesh to forgotten dust
    Coffin nails long turned to rust

    Until...

    No one living recalls his name
    He might not have ever been.

    good intelligent and thought provoking poetry. had a chance to read through them all. this one's my favorite. i like death. he makes a great subject. and the irony of our oblivion didn't seem to escape you.
