Stifled

Impotent king beneath our feet You can rule down where you belong In dirt compacted, buried deep, you dwell with those you wronged

Down there you can whisper, yell, even blare your odious lies To your silent audience of worms as they share with you, your eyes

Tyrant, oppressor Your once resounding voice now just muted cries

You self-avowed murderous god Ranks of annelids now you delegate Your commands unheard under ground Where your voice will never resonate

Your time has come Declare the majesty fallen Your dominance, your hateful influence forever stifled

Your sleep no longer impermanent Decaying matter now sums you up Like all the lives you've taken Now so are you retreating to dust
