[ dead man on a hill ]

November 18, 2011 - 6:55pm — Rutilus
Can you see me? I move with the wind
My life support failed me; no different from the rest of the world
I rot and decay, and the worms lick my bones tenderly
A new generation sprouts in my womb of a corpse

No harm will come to you, save for disease, perhaps
I never wanted to hurt anyone, but alas, the rats
Feed on my flesh and spread their stench and parasites
Use me and use me until the very end, why don't you...

There are glittering, infested holes where my eyes once were
Yet I see all around me; does the soul possess a higher sight?
Perhaps I have no soul. Perhaps I am dreaming, perhaps I am not dead.
How I wish, how I wish I were not dead!

The children - they run in terror as nature's forces animate me
Why don't they see me for what I am? Even with a heartbeat
I am rotting, I am dead, and still no-one will love me? What harm can I bring?
Am I so disgusting? I thought myself beautiful, once...

Inspired by William Golding's Lord of the Flies, title-wise and partially concept-wise.

I may make a character out of this.

Oh man what got me was when

Oh man what got me was when Percival Madison (LOL) or whatever could no longer say his full name ;;

Actually, the title and vague concept were taken from the pilot guy that ended up dead on a hill and they mistook him for the Beast :'D
