Prey

Can a candle light the way

If a candle can just say

That a man tried to pray

For his body made of clay

Must a martyr wear a cross

When a martyr has been lost

And his soma torn across

‘Tween the logos and chaos

Will the world in its shape

When the world is full of apes

Find a way for an escape

Or reshape the human hate

Hollow stories, hollow state

Hollow is the human fate

Take a vessel to vacate

After filling it with weight

***

Hollow stories, hollow state

Hollowed out I venerate
