Enter With Empty Hands So Too You Leave

We enter with nothing

Not even clothes on our backs.

You we strive to earn everything

As the years pass.

Then we leave

In sickness or health

And the funeral home provides

Our lifeless carcasses with clothes

Soiled by breath of the dead

But as the soulless

Maggots feed on our corpses

Don't they eat away the clothes too?

We are left with nothing

Only now wealthy heirs

Who don't even put flowers on our grave.
