scorching light floats
her pristine eyes
as they take down
the blind fold
dulled servants
vile orders
outsourcing jurisdiction
to legal vacuums
maintains a clean record
and keeps the critics down
craving
killing
outrage
silence
full of despair she reaches out
begs them to stop
but signs of weakness fuel the urge
to explore what
her bespoke skin will endure
before she breaks
gloating joy
feasting their state of dominance
crawling backwards
torn back by her flawless hair
as the resisting sword is
forced through the skin
the voice of sanity and reason
dies forever
impatiently two dogs anticipate
the bloodbath
mars and mammon
claiming their rightful offering
bloody pieces
split by the means of balance scales
and her soul rises
flees the earth
back to its source
ominously illuminated by the first rays
sent from the dawn of the iron age
