fixated on something in the distance, 
humming a song that would send chills,

the doctor giving one of his ‘visits,’
his moans...

The room is an object in its entirety.
Singular in form and mind,
and multiple in purpose and pleasure.

Though it was once adorned with bright reds and greens and plated golds

The real fealty
Fellowship with Deity
Not aseity

Where is His power?
Do not let His will sour
Why you don't flower

Man is not the cure
His righteousness is manure
God-Man must procure

Can't laugh off this One
Demons in the swine are done
To...

Mighty oars to take us away from our shores
Our horsemen marshal their men at arms

Unnumbered human corpses
mutilated and spread
like illegally-shot elephants in Waza Park!
From ‘man know thyself’
to ‘man hates himself’-
humans mutilate humans!

Future-bound glorious infants,
feeble moms
and luck-abandoned dads

by politico-economic drunks!
Yawning stomachs here,
blood-dripping arms there,
open-mouth frozen heads...
