Remains of the Wild

Amidst the barren wasteland, lies a carcass,

A lifeless form, a reminder of what once was.

Decomposing flesh and bones, now bare,

A fading memory of a creature that once had a share.

Its end came swiftly, without much ado,

A final gasp, a last breath, and then it was through.

But its remains will continue to feed,

The scavengers and the insects, who have a greater need.
