dissolving life
i was one atom my life complete
then the oven went on and i became a layered treat
now i am many atoms broken and bent
from times well spent and times well rent
we look at each other and shake our heads
knowing full well that we have made our own beds
some of us laugh and some of us cry
and we all know why.
soon enough now our atoms will dust
or rust or bust so lets not let them turn to hot ash
instead lets make them food for the angels and song for the last.
