Wake up
Time to live
Time to blind yourself with daily costumes
Time to walk the plank of existence
Take the ride through the unearthed roadway paved with the souls of past times
As you arrive at your personal hellground, your time-card is stamped, and humanity is left at the door where hope lies decapitated
After that
You are you no longer
And worst yet
There's an audience leisurely observing your soul withering away with unsympathetic eyes
Or perhaps
Not even a look at all
Not even a single word of gratitude would mutter from their piggish, ill-passionate lips
Only to return to the Cycle of Indignity over and over again
...
You're hungry
But no time to feed
You're tired
But no time to rest
No time to laugh
NO TIME to live
NO TIME TO PRAY
For prayer is the assassin
And when the era of winter arrives
And if this torturous cycle never ends day after day
What happens if your reservoir is then drained of its contents
What if there's nothing to enjoy
Could it mean that your life's conclusion is becoming nothing but an empty husk sitting in a shadowed corner, twitching helplessly due to life's pointless hard labor
Only at the expense of
The Extortion of You
The Commodity of Soul
