calculations: tribulations
love to divide my time
unknown to the public
fearing cynical clinical trials
alchemic breath; the future
I'm chemically castrated
by laws of men and those
with lesser skills demonstrated
heaving shovelful overhead
grasping pressed pine hiding my prize
immoral beggar to the dead
continuing to refine secrets of a mind
no good deed unpunished
as they continuously pelt me
with sticks and stones
and heretic revelry
unknown to them the angelic goal
of taking pieces to make them whole
thoughts and dreams and sewn skin seams
to hold inside his mighty soul
in my final moments I did slip
to disrespect this next of kin
for the first words from my lips
I said it instead of him
If a man has passed the pearly gates
shown his manner and earned his fate
be it sin or unnatural crime
to pry him back from the other side?
cracking skies supplied by Zeus
will further loosen this earthly noose
godly ambitions achieved,
of course, the gods relish my muse
For power over life itself
will have me standing par
with beings crowding clouded skies
fearing man has come so far
