Body Harvest

Lungs quickly inhale blood
Vital signs are fading fast
Body parts are all removed
Saving heart and brains for last
Eyes are closed awaiting death
Pain outlasting will to live
Punishment to fit the crime
A reminder what you did
The saviour in sacrifice
Your death will give others life
A penalty, unending pain
A bleeding heart
Without a brain
Surgeon readies the knife
Incisions are clean
Blade opens wound
Victim not ready to die
Struggling to breathe
Heart is removed
Body Harvest
A cure is found by playing God
At the cost of other's life
Severed from the mortal world
Time is up you have expired
Body scraps are piled up
Disposed of in a shallow grave
Human bounty from the harvest
Other lives can now be saved
