stalagmites of fecal matter tower to the ceiling
pooping bats of shits long shat frantically squealing
camouflaged orifices adorn obscured floors
excreting pounds of shit rotten to the core

slug like organisms attempt to clear the passage ways
consuming nearly 23 metric tones of shit a day
massive spiders bearing matted feces hair
wait for oblivious prey that they can ensnare

shitting floor cave
poo stench engraved
into the cracks and crevices of this domain

select few human scientists see an opportunity
all the poop and methane gas could benefit the community
they set off on a quest to discover and determine
if there is some value in mass amounts of shit and urine


they crack the seal of dried shit and venture deep in side
the decision is made for the team to divide
they loose track of where they are and flash lights start to fade
no idea where they are they slip down a steep grade

past shit holes in the walls that lubricate the slope
stool get in their eyes ears nose and mouth they start to choke
the inhabitants of the cave close in on the feed
the scientists put to death by their own greed
