Can't you feel Life?!
Doesn't it move you?!
What are you afraid of?
Embrace her! Suck from her
nipple the milk of salvation!
O Mother, don't abandon me
to Death; be with me forever
if only in sweet lies!
Don't cut me off from your
feast; humanity would surely
starve me. They feel you
have done them wrong.
Collective frustration being
ejected from the womb of
tranquility and hurled into
the void of unreason!
I weep as you allow them to
justify their crimes on your
pretty head. Do the thorns
hurt? The leather straps
across your back? The spear
in your side? The cruel,
thoughtless asphyxiation of
Eternity?
God, don't go! We didn't
mean it! I'm sorry!
We are merely arrogant,
soulless bodies suspended in
the void of mortality!
