They Butcher Souls by *marigrace:iconmarigrace:





They butcher souls, dear
They butcher souls.
The man who works in the mines
His skin stretched across his face
He picks at the walls
He does not see the dead canary
Face up in its cage
They butcher souls, dear
They butcher souls.
The bride sits alone
Her soft face dappled with happy sunshine
A smile shining with innocence
As her groom makes love to the bridesmaid
In the bed they would soon share
They butcher souls, dear
They butcher souls.
The child with the sailboat
Splashes in his bathtub
Dreaming of ships coming to harbor
And brave captains at the mast
While his father drowns at sea
They butcher souls, dear
They butcher souls.

Dunno what inspired this, but I haven't written poetry in so long and I just had to show everybody this little gem!
