lowly prey
waking with a fractured femur
and an earful of commands
makes me feel like I just spent the night
with the lovely Lilith-Anne
When they hunt me down
I won't hesitate
to let them capture
Whatever gets
this over with
and onto the hereafter
You never know though,
what a beast will do...
This is What
This is Who
they call the creepy-crawl
Nit-wit know-it-all
Forced to follow the protocol
Stick out your tongue
Now, swallow.
Forced to follow by persuasion
Sacrificed in the home invasion
