adrena

Temperamental witness to the prayer
And the praying idol bleeding
Bent on knee
To make a martyr
Of the kingdom animalia
In the heart of the darkness
Inside the American Dream
Beaten into submission
Into abject humiliation
Reverence that never would have begun
Except the wilting petals
Of a white rose never fell
And frozen
In time
Lay down
Beside the marble face
Of the most holy of mothers
Given this day
Into the hands
Of greedy and capitalistic examples
Of inspiration
Driving the proverbial stake
In deeper
Into the questioning mind
Of the killer of giants
Brought down by the same bleeding idol
And captivated
In the eye of the same
Temperamental witness
That captured creations first spark
Of excess energy
In her eye.
