Premium MemberFifty-Three Souls

The rig rolled through Laredo 
On the road to San Antone,
Its eighteen wheels of commerce
Headed north from parts unknown.
The shipping costs all paid to
Their coyote chaperones.
					
The plan was clear in concept,
But the method imprecise.
If not the dehydration,
Suffocation would suffice;
The Black Hole of Calcutta
Brought to Texas for a price.

This third verse offers balance,
But provides no peace of mind,
To see these modern slavers 
Treating people worse than swine.
And how cheaply they regard them
Once they've crossed the borderline.

Premium MemberCasting Lots-Cleromancy-

He was casting lots determining the will of God And holy times in mid Eastern Bible times Allocating lands, determining duties, assigning guilt Select the individuals for responsibilities Cleromancy Cleromancy He was casting lots, casting lots Cleromancy Is it modern day man's comfort in psychology A materialistic dependency leading him to clemency Or is it a form and fashion of idolatry Cast out lots let's say so humble spirits where in heart buy into something dig up evil this we must not negative modern day cleromancy casting lots?

Premium MemberMenacing Timbre Bends

Drained of life I now see
Feeling the cold like a withered tree

Not old enough to feel like this
Too strong, too fit to be like this

Hear these words whilst I can still speak
See the truth from my eyes leak

A man I saw was not a man
A man who shook me by the hand

I felt the life drain out of me
He smiled and said goodbye and now I see

His eyes were fire burning under human lens
His voice angelic with menacing timbre bends

For as I fell upon my knees 
He watched my pain with glee and walked away with ease

And now the Dr's can't work it out?
They know it's no modern disease or bacterial count? 

So I must say to you before I go

That fateful night I met a demon; this much I know.
