please, tell me

oh tell me dear father how do you use your scythe so smoothly cutting and boning your foolish apostles. how do you lead your little addicts not overdosing but subtly killing. oh tell me dear mother painless death how can you be so sweet honey dripping ethereal paradise. how can you be so loving for your fucked up children with gouged eyes sleepwalking through their last judgment. oh tell me dear brother how different would it be when it's all over how blind you were going into a rabbit's hole. how hurt you were when you lost your voice screaming cacophonically into the dreadful void "i am alive, do not bury me yet!" oh tell me dear sister how lovely it could have been if you never got married if malicious goblin never came to our house. how tired you were with bloody eyes that once were golden with sliced wrists and broken nails. oh tell me please what did i do how yesterday i had too little money and now too little hours to fix everything. how did i end up white with all sad colours knocking into my mind why can't i be black reflecting the world.
