Okay, so today has been a slow one. I have, however, managed to produce something else. Here we go:
We protected them
Gave us for what they honoured
Endured blow after strike until
Flayed skin fell from fleshy bones
They wept not but turned
From the unpleasantness that rose
Out of the blood rivers and fetid lakes
Of man’s corporeal glory
They once relished our embodiment
Pressed skin together in laughter
And raised monuments to carnal exploration
Oh so differently we painted their faces
The temples crumbled and doors were slammed
Locked into isolation through fear
Still we clawed through other men
Bathed in their blood and sweat
Tore apart and glued each other together
We revelled in it
Devoured adrenaline with deep gulps
Coated ourselves in heat and ice
It was we who wept proper tears
We save the real
They claimed knowledge
They exhaled reptilian sorrow
We suffer them, whom we love
As we suffered for them
Never a victory
That’s all for today folks!
