The wood was beneath, warped With age, as the worms crept Falling into the gapping chasm Of petrified air. Ingested upon Shattered bone, was the ragged Wanting beneath. The stone was polished, kept As if newly left. Never was Their needing for never were Clothes tattered, they dined Upon pigeon heart and entails Of pedigree cat. The Woman, of both below and Above, vested wording to the Ever breaking of parched skin and Bone. Those of wood and worm, clawing Ascending through dirt, what was Left of flesh pealed upon roots and Stone, now only ragged cloth and ***** bone. Why must we of the earth suffer, The indignity of dirt while those Above treated differently, we are the same are we not, death is Universal rot. Then those of marble spoke up, You are not like us for we are of Death but we are of flesh, Parched but whole, we are of The clean, while you are of Earth festering and rot. "Silence" "Still your airless voices" "Each has a valid point" "But my children of decay let me explain" My children of earth you exhume Yourselves each day, this shows Strength for the journey you take, Hardening you resolve. You are neither filth or below, Your strength is what others Should look up to, you are pure Of the mortal coils of flesh you Are flawless in death. My children of stone, what can Be said,  you cling to life, but That time has pasted, you Linger upon flesh that is but a moment from dust. Time in earth has made your Brothers and Sisters strong, While yours are weakened The weaknesses of above, my Commands are simple their Must never be two, death is Singular we decay as one. What was pasted, those of marble Stripped of parched decadence, They were now pure as those below. Feast as others on that which crawls Nourished by mother earth. The woman of bone, wood and stone, Was  a fair keeper and the only Marble that graced was that which Named those who slept below, They were pure of mortal coils They where the dead of bone.

The Woman Of Bone, Wood & Stone
The wood was beneath, warped With age, as the worms crept Falling into the gapping chasm Of petrified air. Ingested upon Shattered bone, was the ragged Wanting beneath. The stone was polished, kept As if newly left. Never was Their needing for never were Clothes tattered, they dined Upon pigeon heart and entails Of pedigree cat. The Woman, of both below and Above, vested wording to the Ever breaking of parched skin and Bone. Those of wood and worm, clawing Ascending through dirt, what was Left of flesh pealed upon roots and Stone, now only ragged cloth and ***** bone. Why must we of the earth suffer, The indignity of dirt while those Above treated differently, we are the same are we not, death is Universal rot. Then those of marble spoke up, You are not like us for we are of Death but we are of flesh, Parched but whole, we are of The clean, while you are of Earth festering and rot. "Silence" "Still your airless voices" "Each has a valid point" "But my children of decay let me explain" My children of earth you exhume Yourselves each day, this shows Strength for the journey you take, Hardening you resolve. You are neither filth or below, Your strength is what others Should look up to, you are pure Of the mortal coils of flesh you Are flawless in death. My children of stone, what can Be said,  you cling to life, but That time has pasted, you Linger upon flesh that is but a moment from dust. Time in earth has made your Brothers and Sisters strong, While yours are weakened The weaknesses of above, my Commands are simple their Must never be two, death is Singular we decay as one.

The woman of bone, wood and stone, Was  a fair keeper and the only Marble that graced was that which Named those who slept below, They were pure of mortal coils They where the dead of bone.
