What is it a dead person eats? And yet why...
When eaten while living, it makes each one die?
What is it in darkness we see as a tint? 
What is it in riddles we trust as a hint?
What is it that neatness will leave out of place? 
What is it that fills every void beyond space?
What is it that's better than heaven, pray tell? 
What is it that's thought to be far worse than hell?
