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
