If the child slaughtered Then found later Wrapped up and withered After many years Crawled out from under untold layers To take a shallow breath and listen What would it hear? Would the child answer Full of anger Full of rage & bloodlust spoken but never shown With a seeming riddle Or a puzzle Neither the brutal nor the timid could have known Deep down inside, too dark to see The sex commands a shot of something What violent alter could there be? Here is the end Here is nothing Nothing After breathing in the beginning? After beating through what wasn't there Death became the only answer, but not the cure The final act became the meaning No-one cared Deep down inside, too dark to see The sex commands a shot of something What violent alter could there be? Here is the end Here is nothing Nothing [fade out]
