Tortured Soul

Acrid gruel
      as the sole biological fuel
        made out in a dole
          his body had a hole
              rib cage fought to hide bones that shone
                day in day out....his opportunity was just that
                  and on a fateful day
                  he popped
                    and lay dead
                    intense torture-
                      was intolerable
                      even for his soul.
