Waiting to shred what dignity
that remains of a life wasted, a
life un-wanted, a life un-loved, a
life un-needed, a life given only pain
to hold on to

The end is near, no more wasted life,
no more un-wanted life, no more
un-loved life, no more un-needed life,
no more pain to hold on to.

As vultures circle the carcass
waiting for the last remanents of life
to recede from the
tortured body.
