an isolated plane of existence 2.0
I walk this barren boulevard,
alone
in the place I call home
I'm on an isolated plane of existence
A place out of space
A place out of time
I'm living in the moment,
An empty moment,
Catching glimpses of things to come
I've been brought to the block
I smile in sweet silence
as people rip me to bits
and roast the bared bones
Let them have their derisive delight
at the loss of yours truly
Their pleasure is priced
At the sum of my worth
I'll be their slave sent to slaughter,
Their target for torture
Their servant in sacrifice
I'm left sinking under,
Limbo's where I'm at
On this grim globe for the grey
I've found peace in the release
and it looks like I'm here to stay.
