Abracadavers

It's like I never had time to look away
Bodies stuck between death and decay,
Are plastic and set up on display,
And their eyes are wide and they are looking my way.
Each ligament exposed each muscle connected
And every organ that I proudly neglected
Have been arranged for the common collective,
Stomaching the sight of human flesh resurrected.

It seems we’re fearfully made and designed
But it’s a shame we can be so blind.

We’re all the same
Made of hair and bones and water and blood cells
And we’re all to blame
For spending way too much time on ourselves.

I have been blessed and now I’m blind,
A veils been pulled over my eyes
Now every bad season that kept me believing seems so contrived.
There’s more glory to be seen
And savored through suffering
Then ever was through self-serving escape.

It seems we’re fearfully made and designed
But it’s a shame we can be so blind.

We’re all the same
Made of hair and bones and water and blood cells
And we’re all to blame
For spending way too much time on ourselves.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
