Rein carnate
The body acts as life’s host
Forms existence to perform on deities shows
Figures add to nothing being so easy to dispose
Spirits away flesh incarnation's ghost
Essence is the ethereal aura that matters most
Beings without souls
Empty shells, meat trees compose...
Perches for feasting vultures and hungry crows
