Where does the chicken's soul go?
When all the soup's drained from its bowl,
What sort of life did that chicken know?

God doesn't answer your prayers
Or hear when you call
After trials come your way

Her skin white, drained
Her expression dark, pained
Eyes staring out, completely blank
Hair lifeless, dank
Her fingers curled, still
In her mouth, a cyanide pill

Becoming their silly food-stamped serfs:-
Maudlin beings drained of all our vigor—
Doomed to old slave quarters berths.

Except she was merely paralyzed, still alive

Trump looked down on us from a tall trellis;
Became Novellus that is very over-zealous;
Never has rained,
And then drained;
Owner of each swamp has become jealous.
