Steep Slope With a Short Rope

Brought up with kin as animals Instinct enhanced with repitition over and over again Beaten into the heads of boys. Tongue's disfigured to my ears thoughts saying something, saying nothing Dirt under fingernails Umbillical cord taken and eaten by Guides. Omnipotent elder with heads of antlers gives birth to lions and mules alike with handfuls of wants and mouthfuls of aspiration They Luminate His world. Guides full of afterbirth stay always Until the next life comes, and takes what is his only to repeat,. Yet guides change along with bodies, adapt.
