Ministry

If the child slaughtered
Then found later
Wrapped up and withered
After many years
Crawled out from under untold layers
To take a shallow breath and listen
What would it hear?

Would the child answer
Full of anger
Full of rage & bloodlust spoken but never shown
With a seeming riddle
Or a puzzle
Neither the brutal nor the timid could have known

Deep down inside, too dark to see
The sex commands a shot of something
What violent alter could there be?

Here is the end
Here is nothing
Nothing

After breathing in the beginning?
After beating through what wasn t there
Death became the only answer, but not the cure

The final act became the meaning
No-one cared

Deep down inside, too dark to see
The sex commands a shot of something
What violent alter could there be?

Here is the end
Here is nothing
Nothing
