Appetite Epitaph-
Oh that I am that just a rock
dirt and dust where am I on
this earth and do I matter this
I must once young once held
power in my hands and arms
oh, I am that I am just dust
a dirt mound once beating
I'm found in the crust of earth
I'm just dirt once moving soil
a boil bones immortalize as
the wind went into my being
I was breathing alive so am I
just there molded by the hands
of a mighty God he breath into
Into my nostrils I stood I arose
I arrived our last this is part of my past
at last not here Northern I am a spirit
molded by clay within the air I breathe
long as I'm alive I live the wind passes
I fall I crumble I'm dead so consuming
is the thought that I am now abandoned
at not now Spirit from Heaven that fell
now I am just an abandoned wicken bone
stone dirt shell and if not repented fully
repented delivered are in my days forever
in hell
