Woman was an experiment on how to be invisible
And when she grew tired of thickening waves of
Silence and the uninterested glances of charm
She made a bargain with a she-devil: Aphrodite
In her most evil, but sympathy in her reasons
And there was light: an orgasm of happiness
In Woman's withered heart and unorganized body
Forever, the pain was gone, flushed from her conscience
Inside she had a seed of destruction, a sort of changeling
In her womb that she did not know about
And definitely would not had birthed if she had known
But of course, beauty is never free and sacrifice
Are bound to be proposed and satisfied with malice

For all the damage that he made
we've paid a heavy price.
But
I stood before the altar,
bathed in scarlet red.
Lifeless yet alive
You called for me in silence.
Free yet chained,
satiated
The Ones We Remember
The ones we remember,
'Lest we forget',
While their lives were short-lived
Without regret,
The cost
God's sacrifice
The love of God is my inspiration....
Flows from His heart for all creation.
God loves the red, the white
