Food for Worms

Food for Worms

A Poem by J. C. Koch
"

Just something I wrote while watching Dead Poets Society

"
We are all the food of worms
Soon to be one with the dirt
Our lives are far too short
To linger on past hurt

One day we'll be underground
Lying next to the kings of old
So now I pose this quest to you
Carpe Diem before you grow cold

Today, while we are strong,
While our blood is still warm
We must seize the day
Fight back, shatter the norm

Live so that when they put you
Six feet deep in the ground
It is only with a sigh
And not a single tear to be found
