"a Breathing Carcass"

Have you ever felt that you were
at the bottom of the food chain?
Why did God give us nerves to feel so much pain?
Feeling those rigid jaws chewing,
Nibbling my precious, unstylish body
With claws that slash through my flesh
The only sound is my screaming
Becoming?
A breathing carcass
¼ of myself is missing
As the Earth lies there and watches
The beast and I are silhouetted
like two lovers in the murky shadows
I’m dying
But the pain does not cease
The beast devours my body and all its wealth
And I chant…… I chant death
Can you picture this torment?
My body paralyzed, my mouth glutted with blood
Only to cover my screams
My screams…
