the earth stands over us

it is clearly evident that the earth is growing over your feet
it makes its way up your legs and swallows you whole
until you are no more

it grasps you with no relent until digestion is complete
you are gone from sight, it has swallowed your soul
and you are no more

you were nothing special, and your flesh is now meat
your lifeless eyes stared nowhere, you had no control
now you are no more

the earth is your father, the earth whips you while you quiver
stand and shiver to show you are inferior, stand and shiver
avoid the lights in order to avoid the imminent embarrassment
tell yourself it wasn't meant to be, it clearly was not meant
to go down like it did, to go down with everyone against you
you ponder that while the earth slowly takes over you
it savors the moment
