Me.R.Man

Lost, Found, and Claimed -- Reborn from the seas of entropy, Its salt profound with the alteration of mass and energy, Bringing forth a new creation through the regenesis of "Me." Its voice had beckoned so I've prudently listened As it spoke of salvation and escape from the sin-ridden -- A land of so-called life, the incontinent libertine Eden. ‘Twas today, I’ve laid to drown but only to discover New gills fashioned me for a life under troubled waters, And below were fins for me to flee and move on faster. In my new body I glide through the vastness of space, Like a bird in flight, leaving Land without trace… I swim farther away and further more into grace. My abode now the ephemeral of sharks and sunken ships In these troubled waters I dance until death’s final kiss, Happy to have lived a merman, than a man of earthly bliss.
