          I slaughtered answers;
          with their reasons,
          for pressing borders on my ground;
          they trespassed over;
          lawns I watered,
          with rains of questions as my crown;

           'till wine-like bloodstains
           drank their minds;
           with searchers needy overnight;
           how robust vaccum
           shall I cry;
           to dry their certain-surging lies;

           for I'd love to live,
           to live unfulfilled;
           to live thirsting, lusting,
           for knowledge to build;
           and I'd love to live,
           by this love I uphold;
           unlike the love they've given,
           for this love beholds;

            the revolving in difference;
            the evolving in difference;
            to belive we're in difference,
            though some -- in indifference;

            for my birth was dissatisfied;
            alone I carried grudge;
            life given, chained 'round my back,
            'said worthy I am much;
            since living learned, I' ve conquered
            through;
            those burdens ain't enough;
            maybe my life was birthed just to
            believe life and death's as rough.
