Ask me
How this world spins
And I will answer
"On a crooked axis,
Turning for all eternity,
Never to find a greater purpose"
Ask me how kings reign
And I will reply
"On an unstable throne
With liars at his feet
And a kingdom destined for demise
Trapped in his fingers"
Ask me how a murderer sleeps
And my lips will reveal
"He curls under the delicate duvet
And hums a soothing lullaby
Between his teeth
While replaying in his mind
the calming images
of washing the sticky crimson
Off his palms."
Ask me another question
About this unfair universe
And I will respond
With nothing less
Than the heartbreaking truth
