There is the reverence
the spirit walk
when my acts crawl up your spine
and electrifies your mind
when the clash
of flesh against flesh
becomes the unknown in the darkness
of night you seek
across this sprawling mecca
You
sprawled across my rack
contemplate the human condition
through pain
I bring you truth
through pain
I bring you
the freedom
the world cannot
take from you
through my dominance I show you
freedom
from the ties that bind
in other realms
your tears
salt of the Earth
still we seek the
intermission from the mad circus
only to find it in center ring
with your master holding the whip
the keys to the kingdom
Laid out before you
