the Reaper has more Clients now
by Michele Schottelkorbdid you ever hear (not listen)
a One scream in silent pain?
{the pendulum was swinging
out of tune
out of sync
out of time
when the One stepped softly off the edge}
society chisels at the shell
of human existence
breeding a generation of
sad geniuses and plastic people
to hide away for moments
would be bliss, dont you think?
{the clock ticked slowly
each chime
each break
each slice
brought the One closer to reality}
if man knows so much~
why do children bleed
and money is a weapon?
the Reaper has more clients now
thanks to our perfection
