From the window and door of offshore platforms drilling rigs,
From the arena of natural oil sips to execute our living meals.

Of the alchemist’s physique I expound upon thee
A white feathered cap wore he jauntily, cocked to a side.
His sight like a moles’, aided by technology.

We cannot do without water,
But it could do without us
If we choose!
 
Bodies of living things are made up

Within it abode because of pains.
There is another that speak of lost
Among her brethren who betrayed her.
There is another sky that is black,
A sky where demons reside committing suicide.

because you hate the sight of my bones
The peaks, valleys, and creases of my form

I am made of oil and water; 
I am my longest companion.
I am the sores on my feet.

And the one ultimately running from it.
Sometimes I jump from a...

Fresh and uncultivated,

and those behind the curtain,
with their own agendas, 
their own shows,

Hatred still lingers.
Forgiveness is an imaginary,
thought in our minds, 
Where there is no solution.
Can you truly forgive a person,
Who has ripped your heart to shreds?
