Beneath

Beneath the turf rotting,
         Lies a darkness deep 
                  and daunting.
         Here foul creatures lurk 
                  and prowl,
      feasting on flesh,wretched                 
                  and foul.

     Stench fills the air,thick 
                and heavy, 
     As the dead decay,bloated
              and unsteady.
     Their horrid whispers through          
               the night,
     A cruel reminder of life's 
               final plight.
