Abolition

Once upon a time; hard to tell which piece.
Somewhere between reality and myth, 
lies forge an identity lost on peace.
Keen bellows; hammer strikes unveil the Smith.

Akin; that prince slyly seeking the throne.
"Thus always to tyrants!" He blames the slain.
Raising cain, killing able; little's known 
of overlords. Let complacency reign.

Let promised comfort lower the voices.
Rejecting the past; lesson in meaning.
Diluting verbiage; Alter choices.
Destined for slaughter; signal the weaning.

Take notice; an abolition’s at hand!
The abolition of Man; Master’s planned!
