Fallen

Listen to poem:
swollen fluid-filled cavities bruised blue broken tendons bones and cartilage too blacken eyes wide and starry misty dew sunken chest deflated lungs motionless upon the yielding ground, thee now rest no more crying, weeping, bawling descend ye Lifeless hands fallen what be thy purpose born to earth have thee obtained thy due worth why hast thou days been shortened thy prayers were heard in earnest often wayward the wicked deeds of man wanton is his maiden beings present since Time began what image be they made in

You sum it up beautifully. Life just seems so unfair at times, and we never understand why.
