Flesh Constructed ObeliscA construction for the divineA sign of our praise A sign of our praise Cemented with the blood of its slaves A morbid signal to the evil that reigns Flesh encases a grim sculpture An horrific stalactite Headstone for a mass grave A decrepit landmark solitary Visible from the horizon Built upon ceremonial grounds Constructed by the herd Through their suffering raised A sign of our praise A sign of our praise With each blood offering it grows A sacramental gesture for the end Towering over the enfeebled A chilling reminder of their imminent demise Mesmerizing those who seek it Fearful yet filled with fascination The sculpture becomes the new divine Adulated by idolators speaking falsehood A sign of our praise A sign of our praise A sign of our praise A sign of our praise Beckoned to join those prostrated Coerced through fear into devotion Beckoned to join those prostrated Coerced through fear into devotion Forced to worship a barbaric memorial Huddled beneath its lengthening shadow |
