Raphael Amorous Cead - Atheist Post-Coffin

His bones are broken,
and joints cease to work.
This body of his is lifeless,
and is an empty vessel.
He is buried under earth,
and under others more famed.
The old man dies forgetten,
without a soul or a place to go.
No hell or heaven for him,
and surely none for us.

Raphael Amorous Cead
