No Such Species

 

What form is this to behold 

Concealed beneath hooded cloak 

Cain in hand to crooked stand 

It cannot be man 

With swallowed tongue and labored breath 

Words follow like shadows of death 

Beneath cold facade 

No creature of god 

could ever understand 

A heart for religion 

And yearning for women 

Unnatural joys of

unidentifiable origins 

The markings its face 

Tell of mothers disgrace 

One way or another you'll pay 

Think back to the time 

When ever you toyed with heaven 

Who's to say it isn't heaven 

That holds your skin as collateral 

I don't believe the name it gave me 

The image reads like ancient weaponry 

In this inhuman machine 

This mindless mass of lethargy  

There is no such thing 

Whatever conception you have or had

No such species 

It cannot be man 

Who are you to say what I have become 

Fractured thoughts like rivers run 

Twisted lines for unfinished times 

From father to mother to son 

I would have everything you've done 

I know I've seen you before, and I 

Think I love you
