After Death

by @mst

With my body decomposing, and life ebbing away, will I be forgotten? lost in life's sway. Who will be there to identify my body, will someone shed tears of sadness, at what was lost which I embodied. Or will there be those who stand and smile, knowing I am finally gone, a good riddance that I breathed my last, as I am everything which is wrong. Alas, could it come to, my name being lost, left to die at an unmarked grave, forgotten before rotten.
