Unbeneficial Union

A burnt offerring Does not appease An angry god When intentions For a later day Are tossed aside. Intentions do not Calm my senses. Obedient to time's Tendency to fade, I inhale, I exhale. Time just flutters away. I tasted its courage. I testified to its urges. I flirted with its hunger. Yet what it gave me Took years of abandonment To build. What it takes is prey Disrobed and sacrificed, To breed the devil Of hope. No fasting Can compensate A currency of greed. So I sit in waiting For this marraige Society breeds. There is no price For the climax of the incarnate. We are the two, The god and the godless, Never able to amend For blood shed Or blood given Of our sons and daughters, Who pay the wages of us; History's unforgiven.
