there was a god once where is he now? what more shall I offer taker of life and giver of living before I am emptied, drained, fluids replaced with oil, ligaments with steel whereto shall my consciousness flow, if not puddled on the ground there is no use for life, every hidden breath exhumed evidence of thievery from whence comes the spirit that moves me where does it reside if not in mind with tedium overcome now sparks soul that cannot be breached heart for none it beats but a mechanical thrum body unfeeling and joints rusty deserving, am I not?
