The Hearse

The hearse drives by slowly,

Trying not to disturb its sleeping passenger.

The passenger pays no heed to the bumps and continues to sleep.

Those that know the sleeping passenger mourn their slumber.

Others watch and stare as the body is pulled out from the hearse in a giant wooden bed.

It is lowered into the solid dirt of the ground,

Becoming a meal for the bugs and insects.

Now covered in fresh mud,

The hearse drives away,

Ready to carry its next sleepy passenger.
