I awe I visually examine
as you coddle your skin unnecessarily
spending millions to get the impeccable shape
forgetting your relations
who are starving
do you care?

Do I require to remind you
that decomposition of your beloved body
will commence four minutes after your death?
oh! You are not cognizant
that your system will relinquish enzymes
and victual your cells from inside out.

Decelerate on the substructures
stop spending your.money on bleaching cream
suspend the tummy tuck operation
sit up and cerebrate, the worms will have a good feast
when you determinately go down the six feet cubicle
your gold will never accompany you
all the wealth you amassed will turn back as you breathe your last

Let me expeditiously verbally express
that the enzymes that victual from within out
will cause you to bloat like bread with excess yeast
giving the insects a licit notice
to come for a well deserved banquet
the lamentable odour from you
will not daunt them, they will eat and be filled

The body you so much cherish
will determinately decompose barely 72hrs later
turning you gradually to a skeleton
your proud and haughty looks end there
vanity!
as the ants and worms
alacritously await the next human
to visit the graveyard aeonianl

No race!
no reverence!
no ignominiousness!
just you, the ants and the worms
be nice! make impact!
everything ends underground
