Paradise

Like beasts we live

Like beasts we prey

Like beasts our bones will be found by better ancestors

 

Like beasts we die

Like beasts we rot

Like beasts our flesh will fill the bellies of the scavengers

 

Like beasts we scream

Like beasts we pray

Like beasts our last breaths drift away into every universe

 

Like beasts we are

Like beasts we must be

Like beasts created in his image,

beholden to hers
