After Her

A paradigm for life
To provide sustenance and faith
And live forever
In the arms of Gabriel

Crucify!
We suffocate
As her nipples pierce my weak knees
This order for life
To the virtue of patience
To provide sustenance and faith
And I am expected to believe?

Crucify I say!
Crucify!
Give her a new life
If she floats
And God forgives her

We force her hands into
The crucible of smelting semen
We admonish her to drink
Where is the Devil in residence
Put him forth
Into the light
And we can see
The Devil exists in every child that's born
Abashed!
Into you and into me.

Too many sacrifices
We have to agree
Some are just born to die
And some to lead this life
Don't you want to live forever
And drink the blood
That falls from his side

This is not a movie
This is not a satire
This is she
In all her bitter hurtful sardonic splendor
