Dead and Done

The unwilling seed of youth soon gone Decaying society brought forth will be Decomposing for all to gander Vanity will wander together with brawn Withering decline of the end to come As beauty dies they harshly slander Your fight will rage until the end Reflection will rot and becometh scum The corpse be known by deaths firm grip The gradual decline we still defend It's quite inevitable and soon will spawn It swoops on in watching for the fall and trip Youth soon squandered in the mid-day sun Weathered and cracked by a formidable one It now lies dead on the web doth spun The carcass of beauty spent and done *Lines to awaken your muse poetry contest* "the carcass of beauty spent and done* This line was written by William Shakespeare
