nerves could speak, and they were bawling
with a last attempt to take control of your net weight
the constant was avian, and you helpless, bones not hollow, all complacent
witness a feast, verdict: guilty
gravity waning, your pulse maligned,
kick to tread, you drown
he absorbs the corruption in his atria
his heart is heavier than the truth
that gives flight to the deity
a scale he can't tip
a situation beyond control
his life a treat for beasts
an aftertaste of oblivion
curse
had he the wealth
begets
a book would supercede his sins
curse
had he the choice
begets
he would try again
curse
had he the chance
begets
he would fail
curse
all the colors of life
are lost in the opaque white
blows of retribution
paid in full
and you can only wish that they
would feed an earthenware baboon
to promise you the breath
you took for granted every day
curse begets curse begets curse
why listen,
curse begets curse begets curse
why?
curse begets curse begets curse
when you can just
pray that you are not
as weak and willing
as your digits, limbs and skin
pray
that you are not
as weak and willing
as your digits, limbs and skin
pray
that you are not
so weak,
and so willing
to give it all up
nerves could speak, and they were bawling
with a last attempt to take control of your net weight
the constant was avian, and you helpless, bones not hollow, all complacent
witness a feast, verdict: guilty
