The 7th Commandment
November 12th, 2007 by David Barker
sometimes we desire what we cannot have
but unable to extinguish the desire
we fan ourselves into a roaring flame
and so we rage
and we flare
but consume nothing
from this
god utters forth
the usual useless shit
then
obedience comes
not from love
but from its failure
we draw on god’s teat
like sucklings on an ashen nub
