Six Feet Down Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Six feet down in the earth she lies
Sorting her yesterday's with nature
Her once smooth and fresh skin
Becomes dinner for worms
Her once white teeth
Is soon dyed
To blend with the earth.
Her once long and manicured nails
Falls off as if rejecting her
She is now to dine with her roots
She, a once admired, beautiful woman
Is now ridiculed by death
She is mocked and told
"See! , how ugly you look without excesses"
She, now a subject to the will of mother earth
Becomes a choice less beggar
For she rots and shall be used as fertilizer
To enrich the earth
Naked we came, naked we shall return
