Carnivore
Blood thirsty carnivore that does not back down
On this ridge day and night, I sit and lie in wait
Hungry as the beast of my soul lies inside my chest
Forgetting the pain of the hunger of yesterday and yesteryear,
Upon thy prey I shoot out and bite with all my teeth in a gathered smile
Counting the minutes and then the seconds until all your red cells flow into my mouth
Kings back down from helping you as your soul leaves thy flesh, as the flesh fills my body
Your flesh, blood and bones becomes the protein in my blood, flesh, and bones
On the contrary, the meat from your entire body has done its purpose, and it has feed mineth body
Your still the excrement that comes from my bowels and gets gathered by the beetles whom eat dung
