.:The Way of Sacrifice:.

 
most of us
don’t know the half
all roads
lead to
a bloody bath
on the path
away we go
matters not, if
fast or slow

the crimson tub
the body scrub
pre-storm calm and
then the rub
one’s best bet
turns soaking wet
the blood, the drip
sends some
regret

drenched
the way of sacrifice
indeed awash
in what looks nice
believe, deceive
what we do most
the pictured scene
is what we post

some dream
then gleam
then raise a toast
its what
we do as guest
or host

the slaughter, yes
awaits our call
the road
the bath
it drains
us all
