Leviathan

We live in the jaws of Leviathan locked in His tendrilled tongue, twisted and gasping for air a second to breath as it's scaled spit scales across our head the saliva corrodes our flesh with a painless hiss that pours into our pores We fall into the creature's throat descending into the pitch black We feel it's waning heart beating us To batter of meat and crushed dreams smothered us with lullaby We are not scared. We know what's to become of us. A footnote of history. digested over time whilst we drown in its intestinal fluid until we are spat back out from His rectum with our remains remaining a fable for future kin For God has created this creature that we had the misfortune to live in.
