Death Uniforms Blue and White Stripes Cleanliness Godliness Slam

The uniformity of death

Blue and White

Fattened out with pin stripes

Until they did not resemble 

A single shred of humanity

A ghost in all but name

Shamed and maimed

Dead behind the eye's and soul

Destined for the showers

Where cleanliness,
Is next to godliness

Meant exactly that
